Gerbil Epithelium Allergy Test

This IgE allergy test uses a blood sample to determine if you are allergic to Gerbil Epithelium (skin cells).

Gerbils are small rodents that are odorless, easy to raise, and usually gentle. Many individuals believe they are allergic to their pet gerbil, when in fact more commonly they are allergic to the bedding of their gerbil's cage. Timothy grass and hay is commonly used as bedding and sometimes as a digestive aid for small house pets like gerbils and rabbits. If you suspect you are allergic to your little pets, consider our Timothy hay allergy test as well!

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 2 days
