What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing persistent sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, or breathing difficulties that seem linked to certain seasons or environments in the Mountain West region. It helps pinpoint which specific environmental allergens like pollen, mold, pet dander, or dust mites are triggering your symptoms. Many people use this test when over-the-counter allergy medications aren't working well or when they want to know exactly what they're allergic to before starting treatment.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in plain language explaining which specific allergens you're sensitized to and how they relate to your symptoms. These notes include personalized recommendations like avoidance strategies, air filtration suggestions, medication options, or whether immunotherapy might help. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your allergen sensitivity over time using our trends feature, which is especially helpful if you're undergoing allergy treatment.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures Immunoglobulin E and specific IgE antibodies to 26 allergens: Alder, Alternaria alternata (mold), Aspergillus fumigatus, Bermuda grass, Cat dander, Cladosporium herbarum, Cockroach, Common ragweed, Cottonwood, Dermatophagoides farinae (dust mite), Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (dust mite), Dog dander, Elm, Maple (box elder), Mountain cedar, Mouse Urine Proteins, Mugwort (sagebrush), Oak, Olive, Penicillium notatum, Rough pigweed, Russian Thistle (saltwort), Sheep sorrel, Timothy grass, and White mulberry. This comprehensive panel tests your blood for IgE antibodies to 26 common environmental allergens specific to Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, and mountain areas of Arizona and Idaho. It evaluates tree pollens like cottonwood, oak, and mountain cedar that cause spring allergies, grasses like Bermuda and Timothy that trigger summer symptoms, and weeds like ragweed and sagebrush common in fall. The panel also checks for year-round indoor allergens including dust mites, pet dander from cats and dogs, cockroaches, and common molds like Alternaria and Aspergillus that can cause respiratory issues anytime.

How should I prepare for this test?

No special preparation is needed for this allergy blood test. You don't need to fast, and you can continue taking your allergy medications as prescribed since they won't affect the IgE antibody levels measured in this test. Unlike skin testing, antihistamines don't need to be stopped beforehand. Simply schedule your blood draw at a convenient time.

When will I get my results?

Most allergy panel results are typically available within 3-5 business days after your blood sample reaches the laboratory. You'll receive an email notification as soon as your results are ready to view in your secure online account. Complex panels with multiple allergens may occasionally take a bit longer.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is perfect for anyone living in or relocating to the Mountain West region who experiences seasonal or year-round allergy symptoms like sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, or wheezing. It's especially useful for children and adults with asthma or respiratory issues that worsen with allergen exposure, people who want to identify triggers before starting immunotherapy, or anyone who hasn't found relief with generic allergy treatments. It's also helpful if you're unsure whether your symptoms are caused by allergies or something else.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include frequent sneezing fits, runny or stuffy nose, itchy and watery eyes, scratchy throat, coughing, or wheezing that occurs seasonally or in certain environments. You might notice symptoms worsen outdoors during specific times of year, around pets, in dusty areas, or in damp locations. If you experience these symptoms regularly and they interfere with daily activities, sleep, or exercise, allergy testing can help identify the specific triggers.

How can I naturally reduce my allergy symptoms?

Keep windows closed during high pollen days and use HEPA air filters in your home to remove allergens. Shower and change clothes after being outdoors to remove pollen, use allergen-proof covers on pillows and mattresses for dust mite control, and wash bedding weekly in hot water. Vacuum regularly with a HEPA filter, keep humidity below 50% to prevent mold growth, and consider using a saline nasal rinse daily to flush out allergens. Limiting outdoor activities during peak pollen times (early morning and windy days) can also help.

What is IgE and why does it matter for allergies?

IgE (Immunoglobulin E) is an antibody your immune system produces when it mistakenly identifies harmless substances like pollen or pet dander as threats. When you're exposed to an allergen, IgE triggers the release of histamine and other chemicals that cause allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching, and congestion. Measuring allergen-specific IgE levels helps identify exactly which substances your immune system is reacting to, even if you're not currently experiencing symptoms.

What does a positive result mean?

A positive result means your blood contains IgE antibodies to that specific allergen, indicating you're sensitized to it. However, sensitization doesn't always mean you'll have symptoms when exposed. Many people test positive for allergens but don't experience reactions in real life. Your doctor will interpret results alongside your symptom history to determine which positive results are clinically relevant and causing your actual symptoms.
