When we breathe in or ingest mycotoxins, they get through the respiratory or gastrointestinal lining and soak into blood vessels. Then they traverse the body in the circulation. Thus, they can affect all body systems causing a wide range of symptoms. Here are just a few examples:
Eyes, Ears: dry eyes, irritated eyes, ear fullness, ear pain, noise sensitivity, frequent yawning to pop ears
Nose, Throat: sneezing, runny nose, sinusitis, allergies, mouth sores, dry throat, sore throat, need to clear throat often
