Stachybotrys Chartarum IgG antibodies test. Is it accurate/useful?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

This is my first post and I have a question that I am hoping someone

can answer for me.

Is the IgG antibodies blood test for Stachybotrys Chartarum

accurate/useful?

The reason that I ask this is because on the link bellow it says

that, " The demonstration of mold-specific antibodies alone is generally

considered insufficient to prove that health effects reported by

individuals in moisture-damaged buildings are caused by mold exposure. "

If the IgG test isn't accurate then what kind of test is accurate in

determining whether or not Stachybotrys Chartarum is causing me health

problems.

Thanks.
