The immune system is the body's primary defense against potentially
harmful disease-causing invaders. The well-known invaders are
bacteria and viruses. However, pollen, mold, household and industrial
chemicals, and even food can trigger an immune response. It is
this response that causes the familiar symptoms of a cold or flu. Other
conditions or prolonged illness can result from continued exposure
to a substance that causes an immune response. SYMPTOMS:
In conjunction with bringing the latest DPC Immulite antibody assay technology to Great Smokies Diagnostic Lab we have introduced an expanded offering of immunology tests that include a Mold Profile and a Celiac Profile. The newest allergy profile available measures quantifiable IgE antibodies for Molds. As the modern world continues to evolve, it is becoming increasingly apparent that our indoor environment can have a huge impact on our health. Molds (also know as fungi) are ubiquitous in the environment and can concentrate in homes, offices and public buildings. It is estimated that the annual work impairment costs associated with pollen/mold exposure are between $5.4-7.7 billion dollars in the US alone! Click here to read more! Allergy
