This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained allergic symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, or respiratory issues during certain times of the year. It specifically identifies if you have an allergic reaction to Tree of Heaven pollen, a common but often overlooked environmental trigger. Many people use this test when they suspect seasonal allergies but want to pinpoint the exact cause of their symptoms.
No special preparation is needed for this allergy test. You don't need to fast, and you can take your regular medications including antihistamines, as they don't affect IgE antibody levels in your blood. Simply schedule your blood draw at a convenient time and arrive as you normally would.
This test measures Allergen Specific IgE antibodies to Tree of Heaven pollen. IgE antibodies are your immune system's response to allergens, and elevated levels indicate you're sensitized to this particular tree pollen. This information helps you understand why you're experiencing symptoms and allows you to take targeted action to avoid exposure and manage your allergic reactions effectively.
What this means
Your IgE antibody level to Tree of Heaven pollen is elevated, indicating you have a moderate allergy to this tree. This explains symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, or itchy eyes when exposed to this pollen, especially during late summer and fall when Tree of Heaven releases pollen.
Recommended actions
Monitor pollen counts and limit outdoor activities during high pollen days
Keep windows closed during allergy season and use HEPA air filters at home
Shower and change clothes after being outdoors to remove pollen
Consider discussing antihistamines or immunotherapy options with your doctor
