Alternaria alternata Allergy Test

This IgE antibody allergy test uses a blood sample to determine if you are allergic to Alternaria alternata mold spores.

A. alternata, growing commonly on vegetation, is a member of the imperfect fungi and is one of the most important among the allergenic fungi. Alternaria spores are detectable from May to November, with peaks in late summer and autumn. It is frequently found on water condensed on window frames. It is one of the most common mold spores found in dwelling dust in North America.

Traditional allergy tests utilize the Skin Prick method (also known as a Puncture or Scratch test) to determine whether an allergic reaction will occur by inserting possible triggers into your skin using a needle prick. If you are allergic to the substance, you are forced to suffer through your body's reaction to the allergen. HealthLabs.com offers an easier, virtually pain-free blood test to determine the allergen status of substances without the irritation of traditional skin prick tests.

• No painful skin pricks
• No fasting necessary
