What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, skin rashes, or breathing difficulties that seem to worsen in certain environments or around pets. It helps identify specific allergens triggering your symptoms, including common grasses, weeds, trees, mold, dust mites, and pet dander. Many people use this test when over-the-counter allergy medications aren't working well or when they want to pinpoint exactly what's causing their allergic reactions.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining which allergens you're reacting to and how strongly. These notes include personalized recommendations like environmental modifications, avoidance strategies, supplement suggestions, or whether you should consider allergy shots or immunotherapy. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your allergy levels over time using our trends feature to see if your sensitivities change with seasons or interventions.

What's included in this test?

This test measures your IgE antibody levels for Alternaria alternata (a common mold), Bermuda Grass, Cat Dander, Cladosporium herbarum (another mold), Common Ragweed, Dermatophagoides farinae (dust mite), Dog Dander, June Grass (Kentucky Blue), Oak tree pollen, and Rough Pigweed. This panel evaluates your immune response to 10 common environmental allergens specific to the South Central region, including grasses, weeds, trees, molds, dust mites, and pet dander. These allergens are among the most frequent triggers of seasonal and year-round allergic reactions, causing symptoms like sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, skin irritation, and breathing difficulties.

How should I prepare for this test?

No fasting is required for this allergy test, so you can eat and drink normally before your appointment. Continue taking any allergy medications as prescribed unless your doctor specifically advises otherwise, as stopping medications typically doesn't affect this blood test. Simply arrive at the lab during their operating hours for a quick blood draw.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is ideal for anyone experiencing persistent or seasonal allergy symptoms like sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, or skin reactions. It's especially useful if you're unsure what triggers your symptoms, if you're considering getting a pet but want to know if you're allergic first, or if you're planning allergy immunotherapy and need to identify specific allergens. People who've recently moved to the South Central region and are experiencing new allergy symptoms can also benefit from this regional-specific panel.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms include frequent sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, scratchy throat, coughing, or wheezing. You might also experience skin reactions like hives, eczema flare-ups, or itching. If your symptoms worsen during certain seasons, in specific locations like outdoors or friends' homes with pets, or if allergy medications provide only partial relief, this test can help identify the specific triggers.

How can I reduce my exposure to common allergens?

Keep windows closed during high pollen seasons and use air conditioning with HEPA filters to clean indoor air. Wash bedding weekly in hot water to eliminate dust mites, and use allergen-proof covers on pillows and mattresses. If allergic to pet dander, keep pets out of bedrooms, bathe them regularly, and vacuum frequently with a HEPA-filter vacuum. Shower and change clothes after spending time outdoors during allergy season to remove pollen from your body and hair.

What does IgE mean in allergy testing?

IgE (Immunoglobulin E) is an antibody your immune system produces when it encounters something it mistakenly identifies as harmful, like pollen or pet dander. This test measures the amount of specific IgE antibodies in your blood for each allergen tested. Higher IgE levels indicate a stronger allergic sensitivity to that particular substance, helping you understand which allergens are most likely causing your symptoms.

What do my allergy test results mean?

Your results will show your IgE antibody levels for each allergen tested, typically classified as negative, low, moderate, or high sensitivity. Higher levels indicate stronger allergic reactions to that specific allergen. A negative result means you're unlikely allergic to that substance, while moderate to high results suggest that allergen is likely contributing to your symptoms and should be avoided or managed through treatment.

How often should I retest for allergies?

If you're undergoing allergy immunotherapy or making significant environmental changes, retesting every 1-2 years can show if your sensitivities are decreasing. For general monitoring, retesting every 3-5 years is reasonable since allergies can develop, worsen, or improve over time. If you develop new symptoms or notice your current treatments becoming less effective, retesting sooner can help adjust your management strategy.
