health issues, mold sickness |

Mold exposure treatment can vary significantly depending upon what type of mold you have been exposed to and the type of doctor you go visit. Black mold exposure treatment is the most common treatment where individuals seek a doctor as black mold often causes the most severe sickness. For severe cases a hospital or family doctor might treat it differently that a doctor that has a lot of experience treating mold exposure or a specialist in the field.

With that being said make sure if you experience any symptoms that might be mold exposure you visit a doctor. Without treatment serious health effects may occur and some may not be reversible.

If you find mold or begin experiencing mold allergy symptoms you should go and get tested for mold exposure. You should also call a mold inspector to come and do a indoor mold test at you house to get figures on the mold spore count and to identify the type of mold present. This will help the doctors with your mold exposure treatment as different molds are treated different.

When you first visit a doctor and let them know you feel you have been exposed to mold and are feeling ill they may do some of the following tests(maybe not all of them). Most doctors will do a complete medical exam, some may do a chest x-ray, a red and white blood cell count, RAST antibody test, and a immunoglobulin panel. Some may also do a immune competence test.

Some specialists do a Polymease Chain Reaction testing process, this will help detect fungi levels in the human body. By getting an accurate fungi level doctors can begin doing additional treatment and testing to develop a recovery plan.

Finally, the mold needs to be removed from the house and a successful clean air IAQ test needs to be completed prior to the exposed individual returning to the house. No treatment will be successful if the mold is not properly remediated from the home.
