Summer Allergy Panel

Summer allergies (like springtime allergies) are typically triggered by inhalant allergens like pollen. Because pollen counts can be much higher in these months, allergy symptoms tend to be worse.

One positive note for summer allergies is that by the end of springtime most trees are already finished pollinating, so much of the allergens stem from grasses or mold spores.

Our seasonal IgE allergy panel for summer tests for these 10 common allergens:

Grass pollens:

• Bahia Grass
• Bermuda Grass
• Fescue, Meadow
• Johnson Grass
• Kentucky Bluegrass (June Grass)
• Timothy Grass
• Rye Grass, Perennial

Mold spores:

• Alternaria alternata/Alternaria tenuis
• Cladosporium herbarum
• Mucor racemosus

Common summer allergy symptoms include:

• Runny nose
• Coughing
• Sneezing
• Watery eyes
• Itchy eyes and nose
• Dark under-eye circles

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
