Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 thinking you said it was. without looking it up, I'm thinking it's mainly allergenic and of corse pathogenic but I'm thinking it doesn't produce mycotoxins which may explain why you say you only react around live mold growth. if it doesn't produce mycotoxins you could be suffering from mycosis but not mycotoxicosis.not that mycosis cant be misserable by itself. mycotoxicosis and mycosis sometimes cunfused, are not the same. disease cauded by mycotoxins is mycotoxicosis, disease caused by mold is mycosis. mycotoxicosis accures when mycotoxins enter the body, ill health is caused by the actions of mycotoxins on the cells in the body, not contagious, and no significant stimulation of the immune system. Mycosis occur when molds infect tissues of the body, can be contagious, molds began to grow in or on the body after infections are established.there may be stimulation of the immune system. different mycotoxins can cause different diseases even though they are all called mycotoxicosis, they are very different from each other. mycotoxins suppress the immune system, I take this to mean that it gets in and works on our body without our bodys defence system reconizeing it and therefore does not mount a immune responce. most people exposed while suffer from both at the same time., makeing it hard to understand the difference.
