This test is ideal if you're experiencing sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, wheezing, or breathing problems and live in Oregon or central/eastern Washington. It helps identify which specific environmental allergens—like tree pollen, grasses, molds, pet dander, or dust mites—are triggering your respiratory 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 so they can avoid those triggers.
No special preparation is needed for this allergy test—you don't need to fast or stop taking your allergy medications beforehand. However, it's helpful to continue your normal routine and medication schedule, as this test measures your immune system's antibody response rather than immediate reactions. You can take the test at any time of day, and there are no dietary restrictions.
This comprehensive panel measures your IgE antibody response to 23 environmental allergens common to the Pacific Northwest region. It tests for tree pollens (alder, birch, cottonwood, elm, maple, oak, mountain cedar), grasses (timothy grass), weeds (mugwort, pigweed, Russian thistle, sheep sorrel), molds (Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Penicillium), indoor allergens (dust mites, cat and dog dander, cockroach, mouse proteins), plus your total Immunoglobulin E level. Together, these measurements pinpoint exactly which environmental triggers are causing your respiratory allergy symptoms.
What this means
Your IgE antibody level to Timothy grass is elevated, indicating sensitization to this common grass pollen. This may explain sneezing, runny nose, or itchy eyes during late spring and summer months when grasses pollinate in the Pacific Northwest.
Recommended actions
Keep windows closed during high pollen days (typically May through July)
Shower and change clothes after spending time outdoors during grass pollen season
Use a HEPA air filter in your bedroom to reduce indoor pollen exposure
Consider discussing antihistamines or allergy immunotherapy with your doctor if symptoms are bothersome
