What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, nasal congestion, coughing, or skin reactions that seem to flare up around damp or moldy environments. Epicoccum purpurascens is a common outdoor mold, and this test checks whether your immune system reacts to it. It's especially useful if skin allergy testing isn't a good option for you, such as if you have a skin condition or are taking antihistamines.

What's included in this test?

This test measures the level of IgE antibodies your immune system produces specifically in response to Epicoccum purpurascens mold. IgE antibodies are the immune markers responsible for triggering allergic reactions, so measuring this one allergen helps pinpoint whether this specific mold is a source of your symptoms.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with a clear explanation of what the normal range means and where your value falls. If your result suggests a sensitivity, simple next steps include reducing mold exposure at home, using air filtration, and noting whether symptoms improve in different environments or seasons. You can download a standard lab report anytime from your account, and if you retest later, our trends feature lets you track how your levels change over time.

How can I naturally support my body against mold allergies?

Reducing exposure is the most effective natural approach: keep indoor humidity below 50%, fix leaks quickly, use a dehumidifier, and clean visibly moldy surfaces. Air purifiers with HEPA filters can help reduce airborne mold spores in your home. Some people find relief with saline nasal rinses and staying well-hydrated to thin mucus and ease congestion during high-exposure seasons.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. Once processed, they'll be uploaded directly to your secure online account, and you'll be notified as soon as they're available for viewing.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone with ongoing allergy-like symptoms, especially those that worsen in damp basements, during rainy seasons, or around decaying leaves and vegetation where this mold thrives. It's also a helpful option for people who can't undergo traditional skin-prick testing due to skin conditions, medication use, or a history of severe reactions.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include recurring sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, throat irritation, coughing, wheezing, or skin rashes that seem tied to specific environments. If these symptoms consistently show up in damp, humid, or outdoor settings with decaying plant matter, mold sensitivity could be a contributing factor worth checking.

What does a high result mean?

A high IgE level to Epicoccum purpurascens suggests your immune system is sensitized to this mold, meaning exposure could be triggering or worsening your symptoms. This doesn't automatically mean every symptom is caused by mold, but it's a strong clue worth pairing with your symptom history. Reducing exposure and monitoring symptom changes is a practical first step.

What causes a high result?

A high result happens when your immune system has previously encountered this mold and built up antibodies against it, often from repeated exposure in damp homes, gardens, or outdoor environments with decaying organic matter. Genetics can also play a role, since some people are more prone to developing allergic sensitivities than others.

How often should I retest?

If you're actively working on reducing mold exposure or trying new allergy management strategies, retesting every 6 to 12 months can help you see whether your levels and symptoms are improving. Otherwise, retesting isn't usually needed unless new symptoms develop or your environment changes significantly, such as moving to a new home.
