Mold: Detection is the Best First Step in Eliminating Exposure to Toxic Airborne Black Mold Spores

You’ve probably wondered more than once ‘do I have mold’?  The stuffy sinuses, constant respiratory/sinus/allergy issues make you miserable more often than not.  Truth is, many people choose to live with the situation, either because they think they will have to call in expensive professional mold detection services or they think it’s just not that big of a deal. Well, the bad news is that mold can be a really big deal to your health.   Still, the most important (and the smartest) thing to do is to self-test and check to see whether mold is the issue or not.

 The good news is that you can buy a black mold test kit, which will identify those and other mold spores in your home.   And DIY mold test kits have come a long way in recent years.  Now, instead of requiring mold remediation specialists to come out and test your home, there are many mold detection kits available online for anywhere from $10 to $60 or so. Most of these test kits will identify a broad range of molds, some will detect only black mold, etc.

So why is there a difference in price? Typically, the less expensive mold test kits usually either 1) take too long to get results 2) the results are not from an accredited lab, and / or 3) sometimes are more difficult to use, petri dishes, etc. Those DIY test kits that are a little higher cost, from companies like BHC are simple instant test strip type test kits that you mail off and get lab-grade results in 3-5 days, with detail as to what kinds of molds are present. That is why the BHC test kits are the best quality—cost a little more, yes, but they are easy to use, highly rated, and offer detailed accredited lab results in just 3-5 days.

 If the mold test results are positive, you definitely want to take steps to eliminate exposure to any airborne toxic black mold spores, to include checking for / fixing any leaks you may have, installing an allergy rated filter in your a/c system, and possibly getting an air filtration / purification system (either a top rated portable air purifier or a whole house system).  Good air purifiers can make a big difference in getting rid airborne mold spores.  And you may still want to consult a professional mold remediation    specialist to ensure that the mold problem is eliminated. But at least you can self-test for mold in your home now, affordably, and know whether you have a mold problem or not--before you spend any more money.
