Worried if your allergy antibody levels are high? Find out in as little as 10 minutes! The SELFCHECK Allergy Test is a finger prick blood spot health check that provides a quick and dependable assessment of your allergy antibody levels (Immunoglobulin E) in the comfort of your home. In just 10 minutes, you can determine whether your levels of Immunoglobulin E antibodies are normal or high.
Allergies can be mistaken for bacterial or viral infections as they often produce similar symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat, and rashes. Allergies can trigger several conditions, including hay fever (rhinitis), asthma, eczema, and food sensitivity. When individuals with allergies are exposed to allergens, their blood produces high levels of allergy antibodies called immunoglobulin E (IgE).
The SELFCHECK Allergy Test is a general test that examines whether the total IgE level in your blood is higher than normal. However, it's essential to note that not all individuals with allergies have elevated IgE levels. If you have higher than normal IgE levels or suspect that your symptoms are allergy-related, it's best to consult your doctor. They can conduct skin testing or further blood tests to determine which specific allergens are causing your symptoms.
It's not necessary to have symptoms when taking the test.
