FAQ'S
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
While pollen and pet dander are well-known allergens, there are many others lurking in your environment. This test can help identify your specific triggers.
Important: If you’re experiencing severe allergic reactions including difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.
Our test identifies your sensitivity to 40 common indoor and outdoor allergens by measuring your IgE levels. While it doesn’t check for food allergies, it can help pinpoint environmental triggers for your symptoms.
Your results will show how strongly you react to each allergen. Keep in mind, these results don’t guarantee a specific reaction, but they can guide you in managing your allergy symptoms.
Your immune system is designed to protect you from harmful invaders. When it encounters a threat, like a virus or bacteria, it releases IgE antibodies. These antibodies trigger the release of histamine, a chemical that causes allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching, and watery eyes.
Unfortunately, your immune system can sometimes mistake harmless substances like pollen or pet dander for threats, triggering the same allergic response. The severity of allergies varies depending on the allergen, exposure level, and individual sensitivity
There are two primary methods for allergy testing: skin prick tests and blood tests (RAST).
Skin prick test: An allergist pricks your skin with potential allergens to observe reactions. This method is generally less expensive but requires an in-person visit and can be uncomfortable. You must avoid antihistamines before the test.
Blood test (RAST): Measures IgE levels in your blood. It’s more convenient, can be done while taking allergy medications, and is less invasive. Our at-home test is a RAST-based option.
Both methods have limitations. Skin prick tests can’t be performed on people with skin conditions, and neither test predicts the severity of allergic reactions. However, they can identify potential allergens, helping you manage your symptoms.
Our at-home test offers a convenient way to assess your IgE levels and identify common allergens that may be affecting you.
Remember: These tests are not a diagnosis. Consult a healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation.

Your test results will indicate your sensitivity to 40 common allergens on a scale from low to high. Keep in mind, these results alone cannot diagnose allergies.
To fully understand your allergy symptoms, consult with a healthcare provider. They can interpret your test results in conjunction with your medical history and develop a personalized treatment plan.
This test is a valuable tool for identifying potential allergy triggers and taking steps to manage your symptoms.
