Allergy test

An allergy test gives you answers

An allergy test detects whether your body reacts to an allergen. People with allergic sensitivity to substances such as pollen, animal hair, feathers or certain foods have abnormally high levels of IgE antibodies (immunoglobulin E).

This sensitivity can develop at different stages of life and can affect children, adolescents and adults. The most common symptoms are skin redness, rashes, watery eyes, sneezing and swelling. These symptoms can be confused with common signs of viral and bacterial infections such as influenza and colds. It is therefore important to check whether the IgE level is abnormally high, especially if there are known allergies in your family. You can buy our popular allergy test here.

Why should I take an allergy test?

By establishing that the immunoglobulin E level is higher than normal, a physician can focus on a more specific investigation of the substances causing the allergic reaction and prescribe treatment tailored to the patient.
Many people suffer unnecessarily. Hypersensitivity is common, and it is easy to get a clear indication and thereby have the opportunity to undergo further investigation by an allergy specialist.
