# Stachybotrys atra

> This test measures specific antibodies in your blood to determine if you have an allergic reaction to Stachybotrys atra, a type of black mold often found in damp buildings. It helps show whether your immune system is sensitive to this mold, which can explain symptoms like chronic coughing, sneezing, or asthma. This information helps distinguish a specific mold allergy from other environmental triggers that cause respiratory issues. However, this test only detects allergic sensitization and cannot diagnose toxic mold poisoning or confirm current exposure levels in your home.
