Do I need to avoid parsley before the test?

Can this test tell me if I outgrew a parsley allergy?
The test measures antibody levels at a single point in time. Changes over time may be monitored with repeat testing, but results must be interpreted by a clinician. Only a healthcare provider can determine if an allergy has resolved.
