Allergy Testing
Allergies start with the immune system mistaking harmless, everyday, common substances for something dangerous.
The immune system will create antibodies to try to protect the body and keep those antibodies on alert in case they come in contact with the allergen again.
What are some common allergy symptoms?
Drug Allergy: hives, itchy skin, rash, facial swelling, wheezing, or anaphylaxis.
Insect Bite/Sting: swelling around the site, itching or hives, cough, wheezing, shortness of breath.
Food Allergy: tingling in the mouth, hives, nausea, anaphylaxis, or swelling of lips, tongue, and throat.
Allergic Rhinitis: sneezing, itchy nose or eyes, headaches, running nose, watery or swollen eyes.
