No test : While some molds make a "mycotoxin", there is no test to see if you were exposed. When patients have symptoms of black mold exposure, it's an allergic reaction and not a poisoning. For almost all patients ever exposed, it's not a problem that needs to be concerned about.

For blood work, I'm often told to fast a certain number of hours. Does the fast begin right after you eat, 20 min after or maybe even 30 min after? Sometimes it takes awhile for nutrients to get into the bloodstream. Maybe I'm being meticulous?
