FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the Canary Grass Allergy Test?

Blood tests for specific IgE are generally reliable for detecting sensitization, but they are not perfect. Results must be interpreted alongside your medical history and symptoms. A positive test does not always mean you have clinical allergies.

Do I need to stop taking antihistamines before this test?

Antihistamines typically do not affect blood IgE tests, unlike skin prick tests. However, always check with the collection lab or your clinician about any medications you are taking. They will provide specific instructions.

What does a high result mean?

A high result suggests that your immune system has produced IgE antibodies against Canary Grass pollen. This indicates sensitization, but it does not confirm that you will experience allergy symptoms. Your clinician will consider your symptoms and other findings.

Can this test tell me if I outgrew my allergy?

The test measures current antibody levels, which can change over time. A decreasing level may suggest reduced sensitization, but it does not guarantee that your symptoms have resolved. Discuss any changes with your clinician.
