Mold & Mycotoxins

How Mycotoxins Enter Our Body

Mycotoxins can enter our bodies in different manners.  They include:

• Through breathing them in. They are tiny and float on air currents with dust.
• Through skin absorption.
• Through food we ingest.
• Through liquid we drink.
• When we are exposed to mold in our homes we are also exposed to bacteria and their toxins as well as toxins from building materials. It is not just mold.
