Description

What is mold poisoning?
CIRS is Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, also known as mold illness. This is an illness that often occurs after significant exposure to a water-damaged building. Significant exposure may mean different things to different people. For some, a short exposure can do a lot of damage.
Mycotoxins are the toxic chemicals present on mold spores and fragments of mold and fungus. These mycotoxins are released into the air and very easily travel through the air.
Mycotoxins enter the body through inhalation, through the skin, or even through digestion of mold-contaminated foods.
Mycotoxins can have a detrimental effect on humans, primarily through their production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Cytokines are small proteins that are important for cell signaling that aid cell-to-cell communication in immune responses.  They also stimulate cell movement toward sites of inflammation, infection, and trauma. Because of the toxic nature of mycotoxins, they prompt the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines creating a cyclical inflammatory responseOn Check-Out in the Comments Field:
