Allergen Profile for Southern AZ and CA Desert Area Blood Test

The Purpose of a Desert Area Allergen Profile Test

The deserts of the American West, particularly in southern Arizona and California, are beautiful, with wide-open landscapes graced with native grasses, trees, and plants. But those same landscapes can be triggers for allergy attacks. With these allergies, your body produces an immune response because it detects a foreign substance, and that can lead to a runny nose, watery eyes, rashes, coughing, and other typical allergy symptoms. The allergen profile desert area blood test can help determine what your allergens may be if you live in these regions, whether it’s tree pollen or cat dander.

What Does the Desert Area Allergen Blood Test Measure?

The Southern California and Southern Arizona allergen profile test is a quantitative IgE test that measures antibodies the immune system produces in response to regional, as well as more common, potential allergens:

• Trees: acacia, mountain cedar, cottonwood, American elm, white oak, and olive
• Weeds: mugwort, rough pigweed, short ragweed, sheep sorrel, and Russian thistle
• Grass: Bermuda, Johnson, and perennial ryegrass
• Mold: Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus, Cladosporium Herbarum, and Penicillium chrysogenum
• Animal/Dust: cat dander, dog dander, German cockroach, and two types of dust mites (D farinae and D pteronyssinus)

Who Should Take an Allergen Profile Desert Area Lab Test?

A Southern Arizona and Southern California allergen profile test can help you pinpoint your triggers if you live in either of these regions and can help you find effective treatments that minimize your symptoms.

Allergen Profile Desert Area Blood Test Results

Your result numbers will differ based on each tested allergen type. Typically, though, higher levels of IgE antibodies are linked to an allergic immune system reaction. If you need help determining the best course of treatment for your allergies after getting your results, talk with an experienced Personalabs physician during a convenient telehealth appointment.
