The Basic Allergy & Hayfever Check is a medical test specifically designed for home use and your sample will be evaluated by a Swiss lab.
With the test, we assess presence and severity of an allergic reaction to 50+ common allergens with a focus on possible triggers of hayfever symptoms. That includes:
- 10+ most common types of pollen which cause hayfever
- alternative hayfever symptom triggers such as dust mites and animal shed.
Beyond that, we check for allergens such as foods, insects and other animals. Results will be available online within 2-3 working days after sending your sample to the lab.
Test parameter
