Question 1

What is the Dust History Mold Test?

Accepted Answer

The ImmunoLytics Dust History Mold Test analyzes accumulated dust collected from a Swiffer sweeping cloth to reveal the historical mold presence in your home. Unlike an air test, which captures only a moment in time, dust testing shows what mold species have been present over weeks or months. It is ideal for identifying long-term mold exposure, especially when visible mold is not present. Price is $90 and includes lab analysis, a health report, and an IEP consultation.

Question 2

What does the Dust History Mold Test include?

Accepted Answer

The Dust History Mold Test includes collection instructions for gathering a Swiffer dust sample, a prepaid return shipping label, professional mycology lab analysis capable of identifying more than 37,000 mold species, a detailed health report, and a one-on-one consultation with an ImmunoLytics IEP supervised by JW Biava, CMI, CMRC. The test price is $90.

Question 3

How do I collect a Swiffer dust sample for the test?

Accepted Answer

Use a Swiffer sweeping cloth to sweep one or more floors or surfaces in your home for a few minutes, collecting accumulated dust. Place the used Swiffer cloth into the provided collection bag, seal it, and mail it to the ImmunoLytics lab using the included prepaid shipping label. Detailed step-by-step instructions are provided with your kit. Do not use a fresh, unused Swiffer cloth — the dust it collects is what the lab analyzes.

Question 4

Why test dust instead of air for mold?

Accepted Answer

An air mold test captures airborne spores at one moment in time, which can vary based on ventilation, activity, and season. Dust testing reveals the cumulative mold history of a home — the species that have settled out of the air over weeks or months. This makes dust testing especially useful for detecting hidden or intermittent mold problems, assessing long-term exposure risk, and evaluating whether remediation has been effective over time.

Question 5

How long does it take to receive Dust History Mold Test results?

Accepted Answer

ImmunoLytics typically delivers results within 5 to 7 business days after the lab receives your Swiffer dust sample. You will receive a detailed health report identifying the mold genera detected and their relative levels, followed by a scheduled consultation with an ImmunoLytics IEP to review your results and discuss next steps.
