Mycotoxins can be devastating to human health
Mycotoxins are Highly Toxic
Mycotoxins are highly toxic, secondary metabolic chemicals produced by some moulds that commonly culture in moist indoor environments. They can be produced by moulds under different conditions, and currently more than 400 known mycotoxins. These toxins are invisible, tasteless, chemically stable and resistant to temperature. Most mycotoxins are cytotoxic in that they disrupt various cellular structures such as membranes, and interfere with vital cellular processes such as protein, RNA and DNA synthesis. Mycotoxins are toxic to the cells of higher plants and animals, including humans.
Mycotoxins differ in specificity and potency for their target cells, cell structures or cell processes by species and strain of the mould that produced them.
Mycotoxins are bio-toxins which are a type of poisons that various species of fungi/mould produce to dominate their environment.
Mycotoxin Exposure
Mycotoxin exposure from indoor mould growth can affect a range of bodily functions or systems that include and not limited to:
- Reproductive system: Infertility, changes in reproductive cycles, (T-2 toxin, zearalenone)
- Immune system: Changes or suppression (many mycotoxins).
- Digestive system:: (Diarrhea, vomiting, intestinal hemorrhage, liver effects, necrosis, fibrosis): (Aflatoxin, T-2 toxin; anorexia: vomitoxin)
- Respiratory system: Respiratory distress, bleeding from lungs (trichothecene)
- Cutaneous system: Rash, burning sensation sloughing of skin, photosensitization, (trichothecenes)
- Urinary system: Nephrotoxicity, (ochratoxin, citrinin)
- Vascular system: (Aflatoxin, satratoxin, roridins)
- Nervous system: Tremors, incoordination, depression, headache, (tremorgens, trichothecenes)
There is an increasing mountain of peer-reviewed studies and research regarding the production and effects of mycotoxins on the human body. There is also an ever-increasing amount of cries for help online and a correlation to the HLA-DR gene. People with this gene are genetically predisposed and highly susceptible to moulds and the toxins produced. Having the HLA-DR gene basically means the body is not going to be able to get the toxins out itself. It is understood that approximately 22-23% of the population is burdened with this gene and that there are several combinations that dictate the severity of their reactions.
