What the authors reported
A food-science review of how gaseous ozone controls microbes and mycotoxins in stored grain, describing ozone's biocidal mechanism and regulatory approvals for food preservation.
What limits this result
Entirely about industrial food and grain preservation, not human medicine or blood therapy; provides no evidence about mycotoxin removal from blood by EBO2 or any ozone therapy.
How ozone acts on blood and cells, how blood filters work, and studies that measure markers in the blood rather than how patients fare. None of these shows whether EBO2 helps patients. One study rarely settles a medical question; our guides weigh each paper against the rest of the evidence.

What CDC guidance on mold, a 2024 CIRS treatment review, and the ozone-mycotoxin research actually say about EBO2 (also called EBOO) for mold toxicity.
