Wow, am I getting an education! Thanks to all of you who have chimed in.

I just had my house tested for mold, because we discovered there had been standing water in our crawlspace, which in the past had always been dry. I am waiting for the lab results for the house, but the inspector definitely saw mold in the crawlspace. So we will be doing remediation there and have already put in a sump pump.

Now I'm wondering how much of what I've been going through for the past 3 years is due to mold illness that has been having a party in me thanks to Covid/Long Covid. How does Dr. Patterson test for mold? Does he use a blood test for that? Someone said a blood test misses the mycotoxins. Can others do the same urine test as the Portland Clinic? Can any lab (local) do the test?

I can't start with the Dr. of Integrative Medicine for many months, but have an intake appt in Dec. Maybe I can ask them to do the test in the meantime, if I knew what specifically to ask for. If only things could be simple!
