FOOD & ENVIRONMENTAL ALLERGY TEST (IgE)
IgE Allergy Explorer is a comprehensive test measuring IgE antibodies to over 150 foods and environmental allergens.
The IgE Allergy Explorer tests over 150 allergens with a simple finger-prick blood-drop collection.
IgE is a type of antibody thats normal function is to fight parasitic infections.
However they can be misdirected in allergic individuals to fight harmless substances like pollen, mite particles, or common foods, leading to symptoms ranging in severity from mild to severe.
In some cases, allergies can lead to anaphylaxis, which is potentially life-threatening.
Allergies affect approximately 25% of the population, and their incidence is very much on the rise.
Additionally, allergies can be difficult to pinpoint and diagnose, especially since the immune system can change over time.
For this reason, allergy testing with the IgE Allergy Explorer is essential for effective allergy identification and management.
IgE Allergy Explorer provides data into the following categories that are associated with IgE reactions:
Pollen, including grass, trees, and weeds
Mites & Dust
Microorganisms and Spores, including yeast and mold
Plant foods
Cereals, including wheat, rye, barley, and more
Fruits and Vegetables
Nuts and Seeds, including component testing for peanuts, pecans, walnuts, poppy seeds
Animal Food, including milk, eggs, seafood, and meat
Insect Venoms, including component testing for wasps and honeybees
