What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, congestion, or difficulty breathing that seems related to certain times of year or specific environments. It helps identify which environmental allergens in southern Idaho and Nevada are triggering your respiratory symptoms, whether it's pollen from trees and grasses, indoor molds, pet dander, or dust mites. Many people use this test when allergy medications aren't working well or when they want to know exactly what to avoid.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining which specific allergens you're reacting to and how strongly. These notes include personalized recommendations like environmental controls (air filters, bedding changes), avoidance strategies for your specific triggers, and whether allergy shots or medications might help. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your antibody levels over time using our trends feature, which is especially helpful if you're undergoing immunotherapy or monitoring seasonal patterns.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus, Bermuda grass, cat dander, Cladosporium herbarum, cockroach, common ragweed, cottonwood, Dermatophagoides farinae, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, dog dander, elm, Immunoglobulin E, maple, mountain cedar, mouse urine proteins, mugwort, oak, olive, Penicillium notatum, rough pigweed, Russian thistle, timothy grass, and white mulberry. This comprehensive panel measures your immune response (IgE antibodies) to 23 common environmental allergens specific to southern Idaho and Nevada. It evaluates tree pollens (cottonwood, elm, maple, mountain cedar, oak, olive, white mulberry), grasses (Bermuda, timothy), weeds (ragweed, mugwort, pigweed, Russian thistle), indoor allergens (dust mites, cat and dog dander, mouse urine proteins, cockroach), and molds (Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Penicillium). Together, these measurements identify your specific triggers so you can take targeted action to reduce exposure and manage symptoms effectively.

How should I prepare for this test?

No special preparation is typically required for allergy blood testing. Unlike skin testing, you don't need to stop taking antihistamines or allergy medications beforehand. You can take the test at any time of year, though testing during your symptomatic season may provide the most clinically relevant information. Simply schedule your blood draw at a convenient lab location.

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 when your results are ready to view in your secure online account. Complex panels testing multiple allergens may occasionally take a bit longer, but you'll have access as soon as processing is complete.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is perfect for people in southern Idaho and Nevada with persistent respiratory symptoms like sneezing, congestion, or itchy eyes. It's especially useful if you have skin conditions that make skin testing difficult, if you're taking medications that interfere with skin tests, for children who may not tolerate skin prick testing well, or if you have a history of severe allergic reactions. Anyone wanting to identify specific triggers before starting allergy shots should also consider this test.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms include frequent sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, scratchy throat, coughing, wheezing, or difficulty breathing. You might also experience worsening asthma, sinus pressure or headaches, post-nasal drip, or fatigue from poor sleep due to congestion. If these symptoms occur seasonally, worsen indoors or outdoors, or happen around pets, this test can identify your specific triggers.

How can I naturally reduce my allergy symptoms?

Start by keeping windows closed during high pollen days and using HEPA air filters in bedrooms and living spaces. Wash bedding weekly in hot water, use allergen-proof covers on pillows and mattresses, and shower before bed to remove pollen from hair and skin. Vacuum regularly with a HEPA filter, keep pets out of bedrooms if you're allergic to dander, and use a saline nasal rinse daily to clear allergens from nasal passages.

What does a positive allergy result mean?

A positive result means your immune system produces IgE antibodies against that specific allergen, indicating you're sensitized to it. The test measures antibody levels from very low to very high, which helps predict how strongly you might react. A positive result doesn't always mean you'll have severe symptoms, but it confirms that allergen is a trigger for you and should be avoided when possible.

How often should I retest for allergies?

Most people don't need frequent retesting unless their symptoms change significantly or they're undergoing immunotherapy (allergy shots). If you're starting allergy shots, your doctor may retest after 1-2 years to check if antibody levels are decreasing. Children may benefit from retesting every few years since allergies can change as they grow. If you develop new symptoms or move to a different region with different allergens, retesting may be helpful.
