Assess exposure in individuals living or working in damp environments
Symptoms associated with mold sensitivity may include:
Persistent cough
Wheezing
Nasal congestion
Shortness of breath
Eye irritation
Chronic sinus issues
Sample Required: Serum Method: Specific IgG Antibody Testing
Note: A positive result indicates exposure and immune response to Mucor racemosus and should be interpreted along with clinical findings and environmental assessment.
