Fall Allergy Panel

Just like most spring and summertime allergies, fall allergies are typically triggered by inhalant allergens caused by airborne substances like pollen. Ragweed is the biggest allergy trigger in the fall, in fact, about 75 percent of people who are allergic to spring plants are also allergic to ragweed.

While many trees and grasses are done pollinating by the fall months, many weeds are not. Our seasonal allergy panel for fall/autumn tests for these 13 common pollen allergens:

Weeds:

• Cocklebur
• English Plantain
• Goldenrod
• Kochia (Firebush)
• Lamb's Quarters
• Lenscale
• Marshelder, Rough
• Mugwort
• Pigweed, Rough
• Ragweed, False
• Ragweed, Common/Short
• Wormwood/Sagebrush
• Yellow Dockweed

Common fall allergy symptoms include:

• Runny nose
• Coughing
• Sneezing
• Watery eyes
• Itchy eyes and nose
• Dark under-eye circles

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 2 days
