Epicoccum purpurascens Allergy Test

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

Epicoccum has worldwide distribution. It is a secondary decomposer of plants, soil, paper and textiles, and is very common on dying substances. Small black pustules of E. purpurascens are frequently found on dead parts of plants. It has also been isolated from cereals, fruits, polluted fresh water, compost beds, insects, and even human skin and sputum.

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.
