What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, a runny nose, or congestion that seems to flare up during certain times of year. It checks whether your immune system reacts to Elm Cedar (Ulmus crassifolia) pollen, a common tree allergen. This can help you figure out if seasonal allergies, rather than a cold or other illness, are behind your symptoms.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your online account, along with an explanation of what a normal versus elevated range means for this allergen. If your result comes back positive, simple next steps include reducing outdoor exposure during pollen season, using air filters at home, and considering over-the-counter allergy relief. You can download a standard lab report directly from your account, and if you retest in the future, the trends feature lets you track any changes in your sensitivity over time.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone who gets recurring nasal or eye symptoms during tree pollen season, especially in areas where Elm or Cedar trees are common, may want to consider this test. It's also useful if you've never pinned down what triggers your seasonal symptoms and want a clearer answer. People who've had allergy symptoms that don't respond to typical cold remedies are also good candidates.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Watch for sneezing fits, itchy or watery eyes, a stuffy or runny nose, and scratchy throat that show up around the same time each year. Some people also notice these symptoms worsen on windy days or after spending time outdoors. If antihistamines seem to help but the symptoms keep returning seasonally, that's a good sign this test could offer useful answers.

How can I naturally support my body's allergy response?

Rinsing your nasal passages with a saline rinse can help clear pollen from your airways after being outdoors. Keeping windows closed during high pollen days and showering after spending time outside can reduce your overall exposure. Some people find relief with local honey, quercetin, or vitamin C, though results vary from person to person, so pay attention to what actually helps you.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being processed at the lab. Once ready, you'll be able to view them securely in your online account. You'll also be able to download a copy of the full lab report at any time from your account history.

What is IgE and why does it matter for allergies?

IgE is an antibody your immune system makes when it mistakenly identifies something harmless, like pollen, as a threat. When your body produces IgE against Elm Cedar pollen, it triggers the release of chemicals that cause classic allergy symptoms like sneezing and itchy eyes. Measuring IgE levels for this specific allergen helps confirm whether it's actually driving your symptoms.

What does a high result mean?

A high result means your immune system has produced a significant amount of IgE antibodies specific to Elm Cedar pollen, indicating a likely allergic sensitivity. This doesn't necessarily predict how severe your symptoms will be, but it does confirm this pollen as a trigger worth managing. Reducing exposure and considering allergy-specific remedies are practical next steps.

What causes a high IgE response to this allergen?

A high response usually develops because your immune system was previously exposed to Elm Cedar pollen and became sensitized to it, meaning it now overreacts to future exposure. Genetics play a role too, since allergies often run in families. Living in an area with dense Elm or Cedar tree populations can also increase your chances of developing this sensitivity over time.

How often should I retest?

If you're managing your symptoms well and nothing has changed, retesting isn't usually necessary more than once every few years. However, if your symptoms noticeably worsen or change, or if you move to a new region with different tree pollen levels, retesting can help clarify what's currently triggering your reactions. Tracking results over time can also show whether your sensitivity is increasing or decreasing.
