What is allergy testing and why is it performed?
Allergy testing is performed to screen for the severity of a person's reaction to different allergens. Some people demonstrate no allergic response to common allergens like pet dander and dust mites, while others can range in the severity of their symptoms. Severe allergic reactions can be fatal. Anaphylaxis occurs as a severe allergic reaction to a specific allergen, and can cause extreme swelling in the lips, tongue, and throat, fainting, trouble breathing, vomiting, and more. While most people who experience an anaphylactic allergic response recover, some rare cases result in death. A person never knows if they have a life-threatening allergy until exposed to the allergen, so it is very important to be tested for allergic responses by a medical professional in a controlled environment should life-saving measures be necessary in the event of a severe allergic response.
How are allergy tests performed?
Allergy tests are performed several ways. Allergy skin testing is one of the most common types of allergy tests, and allergists perform allergy skin tests in a few different ways. Skin prick tests, also known as scratch tests or intradermal tests, are performed by pricking the surface of the skin with possible allergen and checking for a positive reaction indicated by allergy symptoms. Patch testing tests for skin allergies is performed by applying patches with test allergens to the back in order to screen for allergic contact dermatitis.
An allergist may also perform and IgE allergy blood test, which involves taking a blood sample, adding a small amount of allergen to the blood, and measuring the allergic responses that occurs in it. The RAST test is another form of allergy blood testing.
What is a food allergy?
A food allergy arises when the immune system responds to a certain food. The number of Americans that report to a hospital emergency room each year due to food allergies is approximately 30,000. The number of food allergies among the population under the age of 20 has significantly increased over the last decade. Millions of people suffer from food allergies without even realizing it. In many cases, the allergies are genetically inherited, so entire families may be allergic to a food and not know it. Symptoms that you may have previously passed off as normal may be the result of an allergy to certain foods.
What are the symptoms of a food allergy?
Food allergies can cause hives, itching, skin rash, asthma, nasal congestion, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, lightheaded, fainting, swelling of the lips, tongue or other body part. Severe food allergies, such as to nuts or shellfish, can result in anaphylaxis. Unlike a food allergy, food intolerance does not involve the immune system. Symptoms of a food intolerance may include abdominal cramps, bloating or diarrhea. Recurring gastrointestinal problems after drinking milk is an example of intolerance to a particular food product.
What is an environmental allergy?
An environmental allergy is a hypersensitivity to normally benign substances in the environment. An allergic reaction is typically characterized by an intense inflammatory reaction that comes on quickly and predictably. The allergic reaction specifically involves over-activation of white blood cells by an IgE antibody. Individuals suffering from environmental allergies are also at increased risk of asthma, as well as sinus, ear, or upper respiratory infections. Health Testing Centers offer convenient seasonal and regional testing profiles as well as testing for substances such as latex. If you have concerns regarding an allergen that you don't find below please call our medical professionals to order.
What are the symptoms of an environmental allergy?
Symptoms of an environmental allergy can include sneezing, coughing, wheezing, nasal swelling, itchy / red eyes, ear pain, skin rashes or hives, and when affecting the gastrointestinal system bloating, diarrhea, and vomiting. Severe environmental allergies, such as to bee stings, can result in anaphylaxis. Environmental allergic reactions include reactions to mold, insect stings (bee stings, mosquito bites, etc.), eczema, asthma attacks, and the extremely common hay fever (rhinitis), which causes a mild reaction of sneezing, itchy eyes and a runny nose. Environmental allergies are typically caused by seasonal allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or mold and can vary by the region that you live. Common symptoms are not life threatening but can seriously impair your quality of life.
