This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained sneezing, itchy eyes, skin rashes, or respiratory issues that seem to flare up around certain plants or flowers. It helps identify if you have an allergic sensitivity to pyrethrum or chrysanthemum, which are common in gardens, bouquets, and some insect repellents. Many people use this test when they suspect their symptoms are related to exposure to these specific plants but want confirmation.
No special preparation is required for this allergy blood test. You don't need to fast, and you can take your regular medications including antihistamines, since this test measures antibodies in your blood rather than skin reactions. Simply schedule your blood draw at a convenient time and bring your test order form.
This test measures your blood's IgE antibody response specifically to pyrethrum and chrysanthemum allergens. IgE antibodies are produced by your immune system when you're allergic to something, and elevated levels indicate a true allergic sensitivity. This targeted measurement helps you understand whether these particular plants are triggering your allergy symptoms or if you should investigate other possible causes.
What this means
Your test came back negative, meaning no IgE antibodies to pyrethrum or chrysanthemum were detected in your blood. This suggests these plants are not triggering an allergic response in your immune system, and your symptoms may be caused by other allergens or irritants.
Recommended actions
Consider testing for other common plant allergens like ragweed or grass pollen
Keep a symptom diary to track when and where symptoms occur
Discuss other potential allergen testing with your healthcare provider
Continue general allergy management practices like air filtration and regular cleaning
