African adoptive daughter - aflatoxins and ochratoxins possible infection?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

First of all I must say I'm very new to all these. It was just a couple of days

ago when I accidentally ran into a research done in the area where our adoptive

daughter is coming from. Most children tested there were found infected with

both Aflotoxin and Ochratoxin. When I started looking for symptoms, I panicked.

I could almost recognize our daughter in their description!

So, please forgive my naïve questions and bare with me.

She lived for 4 years in Sierra Leone, so she might have been exposed to the

mycotoxins for all this time, apart from the possibility of mother milk

infection too. She had lived with us, away from Africa for 2 years.

Is it possible that her body has cleansed itself by now? Would a test still

reveal anything? What kind of tests can we do?

Is it likely that her anxiety and hyperactivity could be caused by such an

infection? She has been dx with ADHD but I still hesitate to have her on

medication yet.

She is also speech delayed, has sensory integration problems …. Same question.

Can it be a possible infection with mycotoxins causing all these?

Better go and try to read some more before i ask anymore silly things

Thanks for your patience,

a
