Book 88 Antigen Environmental Allergy IgE Test Near Me

The 88 Antigen Environmental Allergy IgE Test is a simple blood test that checks your immune response to many common indoor and outdoor allergens. It is also called an Environmental Allergen IgE panel, 88 Allergen IgE panel, or specific IgE blood test. If your doctor wants a broad look at triggers like pollen, dust mites, and pet dander, you can book at participating labs on LabFinder.

What is 88 Antigen Environmental Allergy IgE Test and what does it show

This test, sometimes called an 88 Antigen Allergy Panel IgE or aeroallergen specific IgE panel, measures IgE antibodies in your blood to a wide set of environmental items. Higher IgE to a specific item suggests your body is reacting to that allergen.

Who should get a 88 Antigen Environmental Allergy IgE Test

Common reasons: ongoing sneezing, stuffy or runny nose, or itchy eyes during certain seasons, symptoms at home or work that improve when away, suspected pet, dust, or mold triggers, asthma that may worsen with allergens, or when skin testing is not a good option. Your doctor may order this to help guide allergy care.

How long does a 88 Antigen Environmental Allergy IgE Test take and what to expect

You will check in, confirm your order, and have a small blood sample taken from your arm. A tourniquet is applied, the area is cleaned, and a quick draw is done. Most visits take about 10 to 25 minutes from check in to wrap up. You can leave right after the draw.

Is a 88 Antigen Environmental Allergy IgE Test safe and what are the risks

Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable.

How to prepare for a 88 Antigen Environmental Allergy IgE Test

No special diet for most people: you can eat and drink as usual unless your doctor says otherwise. Bring the basics: photo ID, insurance card, and the lab order. Stay hydrated: drinking water can make the draw easier. Do not stop medicines on your own: some drugs affect skin tests, but most do not change blood IgE; follow your doctor’s advice. Wear short sleeves: it helps with a smooth draw. Always follow any instructions from your doctor or the lab.

Related conditions a 88 Antigen Environmental Allergy IgE Test may help evaluate

Seasonal allergies such as hay fever, indoor allergies to dust mites, pet dander, or molds, allergic asthma, allergic conjunctivitis, and eczema flares linked to allergens. Results need context. Your doctor will review them with your history and symptoms before planning next steps.

  • Total IgE blood test: measures overall IgE level, not which specific allergens cause reactions.
  • Skin prick testing: tiny drops on the skin to look for quick reactions, gives on the spot results but needs a clinic visit and skin prep.
  • Targeted specific IgE tests: checks a shorter list of allergens if your doctor suspects a few key triggers.
