Does the kit test for toxins?
A. No. The Allergen Alert will only measure allergens. Other byproducts such as bacteria, mold mycotoxins or volatile organic compounds are not measured.Allergens are responsible for causing or aggravating allergies and asthma. Many studies have shown that avoidance of these allergens reduces symptoms associated with these allergens and actually improves the patients’ clinical outcome. If there is concern about toxins in the home, a more specialized indoor home assessment will be necessary. You can call the hot line to obtain information about who to contact for this type of indoor assessment.
