The trigger can shift and change over time, but, due to its multisystem impact on the body, mold is one of the most common MCAS triggers and should ALWAYS be considered, ruled out, and/or addressed.

Healing Your Home / Mold Maintenance

TESTING:

Testing Options to Find IF and WHERE there is a mold problem

(59)
An effective DIY mold detection kit that includes everything you need to test for elevated levels of mold in your indoor air or on belongings. It takes minutes to test, and you can use the insert to read your results in just 5 days.
This test is designed to look for the presence and relative abundance of 12 of the most toxigenic molds and for 16 of the most poisonous mycotoxins. This test provides a diagnostic of not only which molds you are being exposed to, reported in fungal elements/ml instead of spores/ml, but also measures the degree to which you are being exposed.

Indoor Environmental Professional

Assessors perform onsite assessments of properties, suggest and interpret tests, can oversee remediation efforts, and provide real world advice to maintain the “health” of your home. Always hire a licensed professional. Look for ACAC candidates with CIEC and CMC certifications.

CLEANING:

Mold Remediation and Deep Cleaning (Avoid toxic chemicals)

While not a replacement for professional mold remediation, fogging can temporarily provide a safe environment for those affected by mold and mycotoxins. Fogging is also beneficial for routine cleaning and maintenance for mold-sensitized individuals. Regular fogging can have a dramatic impact on indoor air quality.

Professional or DIY Remediation

Depending on the extent of the mold problem, DIY cleaning may not be option. Remediators perform the physical removal of contaminants and affected building materials following a step-by-step protocol (often created by an assessor). Proper containment and engineering measures are used to help control their work area and minimize cross-contamination concerns.

MAINTENANCE:

Optimize Healing with Continual Mold Maintenance

  • Use dehumidifiers to maintain indoor humidity levels below 50%

  • Air purifiers / filters should be used in all rooms where you spend the most time

  • Keep dust levels to a minimum

  • Check sinks and appliances for leaks

  • Keep clutter to minimum

  • Use a HEPA-certified, bagged vacuum

  • Use EC3 mold-focused / nontoxic cleaning products on hard and soft surfaces

  • Use exhaust fans for cooking, showering, bathing

  • Maintain your HVAC system and make sure ducts are sealed and insulated properly
