Okay, my LLMD has not mentioned anything about mold.
I dont even know the role mold plays with lyme. Can someone explain it to me.
How do you know if you have mold symptoms??
How do you test for mold? Does yout LLMD test you??
THANKS!

As far as I know, there is no way to test *you* for mold *exposure*. Mold can make you very sick without actually having to grow inside your body, and most people who become sick from mold do NOT have systemic fungal infections (mold in the body).
I'm not sure what exact role mold plays in Lyme, either, although I would *assume* that exposure to the toxins produced by mold would have a detrimental effect on the immune system (which is already in a weakened state due to the Bb infection and any coinfections).
I'm not a doctor or a biologist (yet), so I am only speculating based on my limited knowledge of the human immune system and environmental toxins.
