Doctor's Assessment Included
Every result includes a professional assessment from a BIG-registered doctor. For treatment decisions, discuss your results with your GP.
Mold Panel (mx1)
The Mold Panel (mx1) screens for sensitisation to four common indoor moulds. Identifying mould allergy enables targeted environmental interventions as part of proactive health management.
What It Measures
This panel measures specific IgE antibodies against a mixture of common mould allergens. A positive result indicates sensitisation but requires symptom correlation for clinical significance.
Why It Matters
Mould exposure is common in damp environments and can trigger year-round rhinitis and asthma. Identifying mould sensitisation guides environmental interventions such as moisture control.
When to Test
Consider this test if you have persistent respiratory symptoms that worsen in damp environments, older buildings, or during autumn when outdoor mould counts are high.
Lifestyle Tips
Reduce mould exposure by controlling indoor humidity below 50%, fixing leaks promptly, using exhaust fans, HEPA air purifiers, and cleaning visible mould. Consult a specialist for significant infestations.
