Hay Fever Allergy

This test can carried out at any time of the year. You do not need to be having an allergic reaction   at the time of testing.

Many people believe that allergies are responsible for their symptoms. However, 60% of people   do not have any detectable sensitivity.

The first step to take is to identify whether your symptoms are likely to be caused by an allergy or not.

Why do I need this test?

Identification of the cause of your symptoms is essential if you wish to avoid contact with allergens and therefore reducing your allergy symptoms.

Some people can have abnormally high allergy antibody levels but have up to now suffered no symptoms. They may be able to cope through the presence of protective antibodies, or they rarely come into contact with the offending allergen that could trigger their symptoms. However, they may develop symptoms later in life and early detection enables avoidance measures to be taken.

How long will does the test take?

Results can be provided within 45 minutes.

What is the difference between home tests and those done by a doctor?
