What can I expect from Allergy Complete – 295 allergens tested?

• This test is the UK’s most comprehensive allergy panel with 295 allergens tested. Utilising innovative microarray technology it analyses the widest range of allergens available in any profile – all with one blood sample. The sample can even be a finger-prick home kit, which is a remarkable advance in technology.
• Allergies are caused by our immune systems getting confused between what is bad for us like bacteria and viruses, and completely harmless molecules in pollen, foods, animal danders and a very wide range of other particles in our world. Resulting in the immune system attacking us instead of defending us.
• One in four of us have allergies, causing conditions like hay fever, asthma, eczema and a range of digestive problems. Anyone with an allergy knows how miserable life can be when they strike.
• Sometimes the allergy can have profound unexpected affects on our lives. For example, it is estimated that during a hay-fever attack your IQ can be reduced by 5% – along with the awful way it makes you feel.
• There are some allergies (anaphylactic) which if not treated urgently can cause death.
• Knowing what you are allergic to can transform your life as treatments are available, and if there is no treatment you at least know what to avoid.
• This test analyses molecules as well individual allergens so that it also checks for cross-reactivity between different allergens which is a very important part of allergy testing.
