Common Pigweed Allergy Test

This IgE blood allergy test will determine if you are allergic to Common Pigweed. Common pigweed, also called Amaranthus retroflexus, is a small plant from the Amaranth family. Pigweed is a leafy green plant that has small green flowers at the top that feel course. Pigweed is often found in gardens or abandoned fields so you may come across it in your backyard. Peak pollen shed is late summer to early fall. It is typically found in full sun and dry conditions. Symptoms include: watery eyes, sneezing, itchy eyes, and runny nose.

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.
