FixMold Miami Expands Laboratory-Grade Mold Testing as New CDC Data Show Invasive Mold Infections Are More Common and More Severe Than Previously Known
The company is adding laboratory-grade testing as CDC data show invasive mold infections are more common and more severe than doctors thought.
- On August 10, 2026, FixMold Miami spotlighted its eight-part laboratory testing menu after a first-of-its-kind U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study found roughly one in three hospitalized patients with invasive mold disease died.
- Researchers reviewing cases at four Atlanta-area hospitals from 2020 to 2024 identified about 450 confirmed cases of invasive mold disease; hospitals can expect three to five cases annually per 100 inpatient beds.
- FixMold Miami's testing process employs an eight-part laboratory menu identifying specific mold genera and mycotoxins, with every sample processed through Hayes Microbial Consulting to eliminate reliance on visual inspection alone.
- South Florida's high humidity, aging housing stock, and large retiree population intersect with a hurricane season running through November, creating conditions researchers flagged as likely to increase mold exposure over time.
- Climate-Driven increases in hurricanes, flooding and humidity are expected to expand overall mold exposure, prompting founder Abraham Katz to emphasize the company's laboratory-verified testing for vulnerable populations including older residents and immunocompromised individuals.
