Description
Allergy Test at home GetTested’s Allergy Test measures 38 different items that cover 95% of the most common allergies in Europe. An allergic reaction does not always have to trigger severe symptoms, it can also cause milder or more diffuse symptoms such as a runny nose or a rash. This is a home test that is analysed at a professional, ISO certified lab. The test is performed at home via a simple blood finger test. Important note If you take our Allergy Test, it is important that you have been exposed to the tested items that are included within the last three months . If a longer time has elapsed, there is a risk that it will not have a possible effect on your test result. Allergy, Food Intolerance or Histamine Intolerance? In some cases, different reactions are not about an allergy but are due to a food intolerance or histamine intolerance. Allergy is an immunological reaction, while food intolerance is a gastrointestinal reaction (which can cause a variety of symptoms in the entire body). Allergies and food intolerance result in different types of antibodies. Histamine intolerance causes similar symptoms as an allergic reaction is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO), which breaks down histamine in food. Learn more about histamine here. If you believe that your symptoms could be food intolerances instead, we can recommend our combined Allergy & Food Intolerance Test .
