Allergy Testing
Allergic reactions range from anaphylaxis to hayfever and tend to have a very quick onset. Symptoms can be very similar to those of a cold (sneezing, runny nose, coughing, itchy eyes) to swelling, sinus pain, wheezing and whole body shock
I can test for 90% of the UKs most common allergies. By having your results ready in less than an hour you can ensure quicker relief from your symptoms, and take action fast. I need a small fingerprick blood sample to measure levels of IgE antibodies in your blood - much more comfortable than full blood or skin prick tests. And there's no risk of triggering an allergic reaction as you never come into contact with any of the substances tested.
Allergy testing is suitable for most people, and I will ensure that the test is right for you at your consultation.
