Can we be reacting to VOCs or mycotoxins with a negative spore count?

[Guest guest]

I'm hoping someone with and extensive knowledge of mold toxicity can

help me out here. We had a professional mold inspector come out with

his dog trained to pick up on VOCs of several hundred molds. The dog

found a hot spot. There was physical evidence of old water damage at

that spot, but currently was dry to the touch and had no external

evidence of mold .He did an air sample at that spot and a control

outside. The results came back negative for spores and no change

between the indoor air sample and the outdoor control.

So without spores could our phlegm, headache, and dizziness be produced

by the VOCs? It seems from what I've been reading that with a negative

spore count you couldn't have mycotoxins to react to.

Any help figuring this out would be appreciated.
