Canary Bird Feathers Allergy Test

This IgE antibody allergy test uses a blood sample to determine if you are allergic to Canary Feathers.

The Canary is one of the most common domestic birds, and are popular house pets in the United States due to their singing, mimicry, and ease of breeding. Inhalable feather dust contains several allergenic components which cross-react with serum allergens/antigens of the same as well as of other bird species, including Parakeet, Parrot, Pigeon, and Hen. 

Its ancestors were brought from the Canary Islands, Madeira, or the Azores. Their famous bright yellow color was once a mutation. Now because of their bright shade “yellow” has almost become synonymous with “canary.” Before the yellow Canaries, the German Roller, also known as Hartz Mountain, was the most popular Canary breed in the world for years.

In chronic allergy patients, not treating severe attacks or symptoms can lead to serious damage in the body and which can be fatal.

Some symptoms that may happen due to a Canary allergy are:

• Postnasal drip
• Stuffy nose
• Hives
• Coughing
• Itchy eyes

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
• Accurate results within 1 to 3 days
