Almond Allergy Test

This IgE antibody allergy test uses a blood sample to determine if you are allergic to Almonds.

Almonds are the fruit of a vigorous, deep-rooted deciduous small tree belonging to the Rose family.

Almonds come in many varieties, but the two major, universally-recognized ones are the Sweet (Prunus amygdalus var. dulcis) and the Bitter (Prunus amygdalus var. amara). The Bitter almond is banned from retail sale in the U.S. because of the toxicity of unprocessed amygdalin; as such, only Sweet almonds are readily edible. This edible seed is commonly referred to as a nut.

Almonds are readily available in markets and are used in a variety of recipes, especially for sweets and confectionery. Almond oil and paste often feature in cosmetics and toiletries.

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 3 days.
