There are ,many toxins from mold exposure that can affect the human body. The chemicals are produced from different mold species. Tpoxins from the family mold Aspergillus are aflatoxin M1,Ochratoxin and Gliotoxin and Sterigmayoxin.
Aflatoxin M1 is the main metabolite of aflatoxin B1. Aflatoxin are some of the most carcinogenic substances in the environment. The main source of this toxin is water damage in buildings. This is eveident after a hurricanes Katrina in New Orleans and Sandy on the East Coast. Aflatoxins are also found in beans, rice, tree nuts and wheat. Aflatoxin is removed from the gluthathione system Therefore inhaled gluthathione can be done as a treatment. I use many other remedoies to remove mold as charcoal, clay, N acetyl cysteine ( a prescursor to gluthathione) and a conventional drug cholestyramine.
Ochratoxin is a nephrotoxic, immunotoxic and carcinogenic mycotoxin . Studies have also shown that these toxins is present in sweat, which supports the use on infrared saunas as they increase the excretion of ochratoxins.
Sterigmatocytin is a mycotoxin related to the aflatoxin class.
