Spent nearly $200 on mycotoxin-eliminating candles [(EC3 air-purifier candles)](https://microbalancehealthproducts.com/products/ec3-air-purification-candle.html) that purportedly reduce the mycotoxins in a room if you light them for a few hours and purify the air. Now I’m wondering, was I totally gullible? Is this stuff a scam?

It does have a lab report that purportedly verifies and backs it up.
