What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing ongoing respiratory issues, sinus congestion, coughing, or allergy-like symptoms that don't seem to go away, especially if you've been in a home, office, or building with visible mold or water damage. It checks whether your body has built up antibodies against Aspergillus versicolor, a common mold species linked to indoor mold exposure. This can help you understand if mold exposure might be contributing to your symptoms.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account along with the normal range so you can see exactly where your antibody level falls. If your result is elevated, practical next steps include reducing mold exposure at home or work, improving ventilation, and considering retesting after those changes to see if your levels drop. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and the trends feature lets you track your antibody levels over time if you test again in the future.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone with unexplained respiratory symptoms, chronic sinus problems, or a known history of living or working in a water-damaged or musty-smelling building should consider this test. It's also useful if you've had mold identified in your environment and want to know if your body has reacted to it. People with asthma or existing allergies who notice symptoms worsening indoors may also benefit.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include a persistent cough, wheezing, nasal congestion, itchy or watery eyes, skin rashes, or unexplained fatigue that seems to worsen in certain buildings. Headaches and sinus pressure that improve when you leave a specific environment can also be a clue. If these symptoms line up with time spent in a moldy or musty space, this test can help clarify a possible connection.

How can I naturally support my body against mold exposure?

Improving air quality by using a HEPA air purifier and fixing sources of moisture or leaks can reduce ongoing exposure. Keeping indoor humidity below 50%, cleaning visible mold promptly, and increasing ventilation in damp areas like bathrooms and basements all help. Supporting your immune system with a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and staying hydrated can also make it easier for your body to recover from exposure.

What is Aspergillus versicolor and why does it matter?

Aspergillus versicolor is a type of mold commonly found in water-damaged buildings, on wallpaper, carpets, and in HVAC systems. It matters because repeated exposure can trigger your immune system to produce IgG antibodies, and in sensitive individuals, ongoing exposure may contribute to respiratory or allergy-type symptoms. Knowing your antibody level helps you connect symptoms to a possible environmental cause.

What does a high Aspergillus versicolor IgG result mean?

A high result means your immune system has been exposed to this mold and has built up antibodies in response, which suggests past or ongoing exposure. It doesn't necessarily mean you're currently sick, but it's a signal worth paying attention to, especially if you have matching symptoms. Reducing exposure and retesting later can help you see if levels come down.

What causes elevated Aspergillus versicolor IgG levels?

Elevated levels are usually caused by repeated or prolonged exposure to environments with mold growth, such as water-damaged homes, poorly ventilated basements, or buildings with plumbing leaks. Spending significant time in these spaces, even without visible mold, can be enough if moisture levels are high. Occupational exposure, like working in old buildings or agriculture, can also be a factor.

How often should I retest?

If you've made changes to reduce mold exposure, retesting in about 2-3 months can show whether your antibody levels are trending down. If you haven't changed your environment, retesting isn't likely to show much difference. For ongoing exposure concerns, checking every few months while you address the source can help track progress.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

Start by identifying and addressing any mold sources in your living or working environment, such as fixing leaks, improving ventilation, or removing damaged materials. Track whether your symptoms improve as you reduce exposure, and consider retesting after a few months. If symptoms are severe or you're having trouble breathing, seek medical care right away.
