Just like all tests, there are rare situations where testing for mycotoxins is valuable. However, the vast majority of the time, the most important thing is finding the source of the mold and identifying the contamination of spores and fungal fragments— this is where the mycotoxins are present. Since they don’t off-gass or travel independently from the mold particles, then we can use more reliable methods of finding mold spores and fragments to determine if mycotoxins could be present. #mold | B
