White Hickory Tree Allergy Test

White hickory, the most common of the Hickories, is also called Carya Tomentosa, Bullnut, Hognut, Mockernut, and Whiteheart Hickory. These trees are found in Northeast and Southern states. This test looks at the blood for antibodies in the blood to determine if an allergy to the tree exists.

Unlike traditional allergy tests that introduce possible triggers into a patient’s bloodstream to measure allergic reactions, this allergy test uses a blood sample to determine the allergen status to white hickory. A simple blood draw, as opposed to the old school skin prick method, allows for virtually painless testing with fast, accurate results. Tests are administered at any of our 2,000+ nationwide locations, typically in 10 minutes or less. We have eliminated the appointments, paperwork, and waiting. Results are received within 1 to 3 business days.

An allergic reaction is an extreme bodily response to substances that are typically harmless. When the body considers a substance to be a threat, unique antibodies are produced to fight that specific allergen. Those unique antibody levels can be measured to pinpoint exact allergies, improving your quality of life, nutrition, and health.
