Allergy testing is a quick, efficient method for determining what triggers your body's reaction. Knowing which allergens are present in the environment allows you to avoid them more easily and improve your safety.
Additionally, allergy testing offers more assurance than other methods of identifying unknown allergens, giving you peace of mind when managing allergies. You’ll have all the information needed to stay safe and comfortable in just a few hours.
Blood testing: To perform a blood allergy test, physicians draw only a tiny amount of your blood and send it to the laboratory for analysis. The most widely used of these tests is called enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which examines how much immunoglobulin E exists in your bloodstream. A greater concentration of this antibody may indicate an allergic or asthmatic reaction on your part.
Skin testing: first, your chosen testing area (arm or back) will be disinfected. Then tiny drops of potential allergens will be put onto the surface. After that, a needle is used to prick into the skin and allow the allergen to penetrate beneath it - or we can even inject them directly. Around 15 minutes later, any redness/itching on your skin is evaluated as a sign that you may have an allergic reaction when exposed to this substance.
Are you suffering from persistent allergies? If so, then allergy testing is likely a great option for relief. This can include skin reactions like hives or rashes and respiratory issues such as coughing, sneezing, and congestion. Our medical professionals will work with you to determine if an allergy test is the best path forward – otherwise, we can explore other options that may be beneficial to you.
Before your test, our medical practitioners will work with you to decide which medications should be stopped and for how long. To ensure a smooth process, patients must discontinue the usage of beta blockers in cooperation with their doctor's instructions since these drugs disrupt testing.
