What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing sneezing, itchy eyes, coughing, or breathing trouble that seems to flare up in damp or musty environments. It helps you figure out if a mold called A. amstelodami is triggering an allergic reaction in your body. This is a simple blood test, so you don't need to stop taking allergy medication beforehand like you would for a skin prick test.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account along with an explanation of what a normal versus elevated range means for this specific allergen. If your result comes back elevated, practical next steps include reducing mold exposure at home or work, using air purifiers, and considering an allergy-focused visit if symptoms are severe. You can download a standard lab report directly from your account at any time. If you retest later, the trends feature lets you track whether your sensitivity is changing over time.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include ongoing sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, coughing, wheezing, or skin rashes that seem to get worse in specific buildings or seasons. Some people also notice sinus pressure or headaches when mold spore counts are high. If these symptoms happen mostly indoors, in older buildings, or after rain, mold sensitivity is worth checking.

How can I naturally support my body against mold allergy symptoms?

Reducing mold exposure is the biggest natural step you can take — use dehumidifiers to keep indoor humidity below 50%, fix leaks quickly, and clean visible mold with proper ventilation. Nasal rinses with saline can help clear allergens from your sinuses. Some people find relief with quercetin or vitamin C, which have natural antihistamine-like properties, though results vary person to person. Regular vacuuming with a HEPA filter also cuts down on mold spores in your living space.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. You'll get a notification once they're posted to your account so you can log in and view them right away.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone with recurring respiratory or skin symptoms that flare up in damp, musty, or older buildings should consider this test. It's especially useful if over-the-counter allergy medication only partially helps or if you've noticed a pattern between your symptoms and specific locations. People who live or work in buildings with known water damage or mold history are also good candidates.

What is A. amstelodami and why does it matter?

A. amstelodami is a type of mold that grows in damp environments, including stored grains, older homes, and places with high humidity. For some people, breathing in its spores triggers an allergic immune response that causes classic allergy symptoms. Knowing you're sensitive to this specific mold helps you target where and how you reduce exposure, rather than guessing.

What does a high result mean?

A high result means your immune system has produced antibodies that react to this specific mold, which suggests you're allergic to it. This doesn't mean you'll always have severe symptoms, but it does mean exposure can trigger a reaction. Reducing contact with damp or moldy environments is the most direct way to lower symptom flare-ups.

What causes a high result for this allergen?

A high result usually means your immune system has been repeatedly exposed to this mold and developed a heightened sensitivity to it. This can happen from living or working in humid, poorly ventilated spaces, or from handling moldy grain, hay, or organic material. Genetics can also make some people more prone to developing allergies in general.

How often should I retest?

If you've made changes to reduce mold exposure, retesting after a few months can help you see if your sensitivity level has changed. Otherwise, retesting once a year is reasonable if you continue to have symptoms. If symptoms suddenly get worse or you develop trouble breathing, seek medical care right away rather than waiting for a retest.
