What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, skin issues, or other symptoms after possible contact with pesticides at work, home, or through food and water. It's also useful if you've lived near farmland, worked in agriculture, or handled pesticides regularly and want to know if you've built up unsafe levels in your body. Many people with no symptoms at all order this test simply to monitor past exposure.

What's included in this test?

This panel checks your blood for a group of man-made chemicals once widely used in agriculture and pest control that can build up in fat tissue over time. Because these substances don't break down easily, testing for the group as a whole gives a fuller picture of long-term chemical exposure than checking for just one compound.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with each pesticide level explained next to its normal range, so you can see clearly where you stand. If any levels are elevated, practical next steps include identifying and reducing your exposure sources, such as switching to filtered water or well-washed produce, and retesting after a few months to see if levels drop. You can download a standard lab report directly from your account at any time. The trends feature also lets you track your levels over time if you test again in the future.

How can I naturally support my body's detox process?

Eating a diet rich in fiber, cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, and antioxidants can help your body naturally process and eliminate stored toxins. Staying well hydrated supports your kidneys and liver, which do most of the work of clearing chemicals from your system. Reducing ongoing exposure, like choosing organic produce or filtering your drinking water, is the most effective step you can take to lower your overall pesticide load.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being collected at the lab. You'll get a notification once your report is available, and you can log into your account to view the full breakdown at that time. No extra steps are needed on your end while you wait.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for people who work in agriculture, pest control, or manufacturing where pesticide contact is common. It's also worth considering if you live near farmland, have well water, or eat a lot of non-organic produce and want to check your exposure level. People who had exposure years ago and want to confirm chemicals have cleared their system may also consider retesting.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Symptoms like unexplained fatigue, headaches, nausea, skin rashes, or nervous system issues such as tingling or muscle weakness can sometimes be linked to pesticide exposure. Hormone-related changes, like irregular periods or fertility issues, have also been associated with long-term exposure in some studies. If you've had direct contact with pesticides and notice any of these symptoms, this test can help you understand if exposure could be a factor.

What does a high result mean?

A high result means your body has more of these stored chemicals than is typically expected, which usually points to ongoing or repeated exposure rather than a one-time event. This doesn't necessarily mean you'll have symptoms right away, but it's a signal to look closely at where the exposure is coming from and take steps to reduce it. Cutting off the exposure source is the most important first step, followed by retesting later to confirm levels are trending down.

What causes high pesticide levels in the body?

High levels are most often caused by repeated contact through work in farming, landscaping, or pest control, or by regularly eating produce, meat, or dairy raised in areas with heavy pesticide use. Drinking untreated well water in agricultural regions can also be a source. Because these chemicals are stored in fat tissue and break down slowly, even past exposure from years ago can still show up on a test today.

How often should I retest?

If your results come back elevated, retesting every 3 to 6 months after reducing your exposure is a reasonable way to track whether your levels are going down. If you're testing simply as a baseline check with no known exposure, annual testing is generally enough. Anyone with an ongoing occupational exposure risk may want to test on a yearly basis as a precaution.
