What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing sneezing, a stuffy or runny nose, itchy eyes, skin rashes, or asthma flare-ups that seem to come and go with your environment. It helps figure out whether things like trees, grasses, molds, dogs, or cats might be triggering your symptoms. This is especially useful if you have asthma, since a large share of asthma cases are linked to underlying allergies.

What's included in this test?

This panel checks your immune response to a wide range of common respiratory allergens found in Region VII, including trees, grasses, weeds, molds, and animal dander. Testing multiple allergen categories at once helps pinpoint which specific triggers are behind your symptoms rather than guessing. If the general dog or cat category comes back positive, a more detailed dander component panel automatically runs to confirm whether it's a true pet allergy or a cross-reaction.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with each allergen level explained alongside its normal range so you know exactly what was tested. If a specific trigger comes back positive, simple next steps include reducing exposure at home, such as keeping pets out of the bedroom or using air filters, and rechecking your symptoms over time. You can download a standard lab report straight from your account, and if you retest later, the trends feature lets you see how your allergy levels change over time.

How can I naturally support my respiratory allergy symptoms?

Reducing exposure to your specific triggers is the most effective natural step, such as keeping windows closed during high pollen season or washing bedding weekly to cut down on dust and dander. Using a HEPA air filter, showering after being outdoors, and vacuuming regularly can also lower allergen buildup at home. Saline nasal rinses and staying well hydrated can help ease congestion without medication.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being tested at the lab. You'll get a notification once they're posted to your account so you can log in and review them right away. This turnaround gives the lab enough time to run the full allergen panel and any automatic reflex testing if needed.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone with recurring sneezing, congestion, itchy or watery eyes, skin irritation, or asthma symptoms that flare up seasonally or around pets should consider this test. It's especially helpful for people who suspect their asthma is triggered by allergies, since identifying the exact cause can guide better symptom management. Parents of children with frequent respiratory symptoms may also find this useful, given how common allergy-driven asthma is in kids.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing fits, itchy or watery eyes, skin hives or eczema flare-ups, and wheezing or shortness of breath. If these symptoms tend to worsen during certain seasons, after being around pets, or in damp environments with mold, that's a strong hint an allergy could be involved. Asthma that's hard to control despite treatment is another common reason people look into allergy testing.

What does a high result mean for a specific allergen?

A high or positive result for a particular allergen, like ragweed or cat dander, means your immune system has produced antibodies against it, suggesting it's likely triggering your symptoms. The higher the level, the more likely that allergen is playing a meaningful role in your reactions. Knowing this lets you take targeted steps, like reducing exposure or adjusting your environment, rather than guessing at the cause.

What causes a positive result to specific allergens?

A positive result happens when your immune system has been repeatedly exposed to an allergen and starts overreacting to it by producing IgE antibodies. This can develop over months or years of exposure to things like pollen, mold spores, or pet proteins. Genetics also play a role, since allergies and asthma often run in families.

How often should I retest?

If you've made changes to reduce exposure to a trigger, retesting after several months to a year can help confirm whether your allergen levels have improved. Retesting is also useful if your symptoms change significantly or if you get a new pet or move to a different environment. For most people without new symptoms, annual or as-needed testing is reasonable.
