If you have the following symptoms: shortness of breath, unknown allergic reaction, then your issue may be mold. You can be tested by a doctor at your nearest hospitable, where they can use a variety of methods to confirm the diagnosis such as:

 

• A physical examination from a doctor, after which he can give you a prescription for the appropriate medication if necessary.
• A blood test, where a blood sample is tested for antibodies that prevent mold from growing.
• A skin test, which is often a more effective method than a blood test. The process involves placing a few drops of mold spores onto the surface of the body to see how the body reacts.

 

However, there are some types of mold that are not able to be tested effectively, such as molds that do not have antibodies available. This can be dangerous for someone who would like to test their house for mold.

The optimal method of knowing whether or not there is mold in your house, is to bring in an expert. A trained professional can identify molds in your household. Experts know what to look for since they have seen the signs of mold many times before. If you notice anything unusual in your home such as green, black, or grey spots, then it is definitely time to make the call to a mold expert. In order to be sure that your home is safe, you need tests performed to ensure full results.

There is more than one option for testing your home to determine the mold status of your home. Some methods are: air quality testing, bulk testing, examining surfaces for accumulated spores, detecting spores throughout your home. Labs analyze samples acquired through these tests, and if mold is present, the exact species of mold is identified. With the type of mold determined, the professionals can make a plan specific to your home’s needs, and eradicate the mold.
