Mold Illness in Scottsdale, Arizona

Mold Spores

Mold Spores are microscopic cells that float in the air outdoors and indoors. They are very hardy and survive in dry and harsh surroundings — including Arizona.

What are Mycotoxins?

Mycotoxins are toxic chemicals present in spores and fragments of fungus and mold. They are released into the air and conveniently travel through the air. Mycotoxins enter the human body through different ways, such as inhalation, through the skin, and even through the digestion of contaminated foods. When humans are exposed to them, their immune systems produce inflammatory mediators. These cytokines or mediators are small proteins that are very important for signalling and helping cells by providing immune responses.

What is CIRS or Mold Illness?

CIRS, or Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, is also known as mold or biotoxin illness. This condition usually occurs after a massive exposure to water-damaged buildings. Small exposures over time can build up inside your body and can impact the nervous, cardiovascular, immune, and endocrine systems. For affected people, repeated exposure can also result in an elevated response.
