What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, a runny or stuffy nose, or coughing that seems to flare up around elm trees or during tree pollen season. It measures whether your immune system reacts to elm pollen, which can help explain seasonal allergy symptoms. It's especially useful if skin allergy testing isn't a good option for you.

What's included in this test?

This test measures one specific marker: your IgE antibody response to elm tree pollen. IgE is the antibody your immune system produces when it mistakenly treats a harmless substance, like pollen, as a threat, so a higher level suggests your body is sensitized to elm.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with a clear explanation of what a normal versus elevated IgE level means for elm. If your result is elevated, simple next steps include limiting outdoor time when elm pollen counts are high, keeping windows closed during pollen season, and trying over-the-counter allergy relief options. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and if you retest in the future, the trends feature lets you track how your elm sensitivity changes over time.

How can I naturally support seasonal allergy symptoms?

Rinsing your sinuses with a saline spray or neti pot can help clear pollen from your nasal passages. Showering and changing clothes after being outside during pollen season removes pollen before it triggers symptoms further. Local honey, quercetin, and vitamin C are commonly used natural options some people find helpful, though results vary from person to person.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your blood draw. Once processed, they'll be uploaded directly to your secure online account, and you'll be notified as soon as they're available.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone who notices allergy-like symptoms such as sneezing, itchy eyes, or congestion during spring when elm trees pollinate should consider this test. It's also a good option for people who can't do skin-prick testing due to skin conditions, certain medications, or a history of severe allergic reactions.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy or watery eyes, throat irritation, or coughing that tends to worsen outdoors during tree pollen season. If these symptoms show up at the same time every year, especially in early spring, elm pollen could be a contributing factor.

What does a high elm IgE result mean?

A high result means your immune system has developed antibodies against elm pollen, indicating you're sensitized and may experience allergy symptoms when exposed to it. The higher the number, the more likely elm pollen is contributing to your symptoms, though the amount doesn't always predict how severe your reactions will feel.

What causes a high elm IgE result?

A high result happens when your immune system has been repeatedly exposed to elm pollen and started producing antibodies against it, a process called sensitization. This can happen even after years of living in an area with elm trees, and genetics can also make some people more prone to developing pollen allergies.

How often should I retest?

Since allergy sensitization tends to be fairly stable, most people don't need to retest often unless their symptoms change significantly or they move to a new area with different plant exposure. Retesting once every few years, or if new symptoms develop, is generally reasonable.
