What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, a runny or stuffy nose, or other allergy-like symptoms, especially during late summer and fall when ragweed pollen is common. It checks whether your immune system reacts to false ragweed by measuring a specific antibody called IgE. This can help you understand if false ragweed might be a trigger behind your symptoms.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account along with an explanation of what the normal range means for this allergen. If your result is positive, simple next steps include limiting outdoor exposure during high pollen times, keeping windows closed, and using air filters at home. A downloadable lab report is also available in your account, and you can track this result over time using the trends feature if you retest in the future.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include sneezing, congestion, itchy or watery eyes, scratchy throat, and coughing that tend to flare up seasonally rather than year-round. If these symptoms get worse outdoors, especially in late summer or fall, false ragweed could be a factor worth checking. Fatigue from poor sleep due to nasal congestion is another common clue.

How can I naturally support seasonal allergy symptoms?

Rinsing your nasal passages with a saline rinse can help clear pollen from your sinuses. Showering and changing clothes after being outdoors reduces the amount of pollen you carry indoors. Keeping windows closed during high pollen days and using a HEPA air filter can also cut down your exposure and ease symptoms naturally.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. Once completed, they'll be uploaded directly to your secure online account, and you'll be notified when they're ready to view.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone with recurring seasonal sniffles, itchy eyes, or nasal congestion that seems tied to certain times of year may want to consider this test. It's also useful if you're trying to figure out which specific outdoor allergens might be contributing to your symptoms. People who already know they have seasonal allergies but want to pinpoint the exact trigger may find this test especially helpful.

What does a high or positive IgE result mean?

A positive result means your immune system has developed a sensitivity to false ragweed and may react when you're exposed to it. This doesn't automatically mean you'll have symptoms every time you encounter the pollen, but it does suggest this allergen is worth managing. Reducing exposure and monitoring your symptoms during ragweed season are practical next steps.

What does a negative IgE result mean?

A negative result means your immune system doesn't show a strong sensitivity to false ragweed, so it's less likely to be the cause of your symptoms. If your symptoms persist, it may be worth looking at other seasonal allergens or irritants as possible triggers. Keeping a symptom diary can help you and identify patterns tied to other exposures.

How often should I retest for allergen sensitivity?

Allergen sensitivities can change over time, so retesting every couple of years is reasonable if your symptoms change or new ones appear. If you start an allergen avoidance plan, retesting isn't usually needed unless your symptoms shift significantly. Tracking your symptoms seasonally can help you decide if a retest makes sense.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

If your result shows a sensitivity to false ragweed, start by reducing your outdoor exposure during peak pollen times and using simple measures like nasal rinses and air filters. Over-the-counter allergy remedies may also help manage day-to-day symptoms. If symptoms are severe or affect your breathing, seek medical care right away.
