Testing

I wanted a test that would settle it.

Some tests helped. Some were a snapshot of the wrong moment. None of them replaced what I was seeing in the house and in my kid. This door is how I learned to read a result without handing my whole life to a lab.

If this is you

• The number didn’t match the room — a snapshot of the wrong afternoon.
• I’m not sure I even need a test — the signs I ignored first.
• I don’t know which test to buy — start here, not in a cart.
• I already have mycotoxin results — what they can and can’t say.

Start with these

• The test that didn’t settle it
• Getting started with mold toxicity testing
• Mycotoxin testing: what it can and can’t tell you
• How do I know if mold is making me sick?
• Types of mold I found in my home

Questions people actually ask

• Can I tell from looking, or do I need a kit?
• Why isn’t everyone in my home sick?

A test is a clue, not a verdict. I am not a lab, and I don’t sell panels.
