The Nevada & Idaho Allergies Test is a blood test that checks for antibodies your immune system makes against common allergens. It is ordered when a person has ongoing or seasonal symptoms such as sneezing, itchy eyes, or skin reactions and a clinician wants to identify possible triggers.

What it measures

  • Total IgE — A general measure of allergy-related antibody in the blood.
  • Specific IgE to grasses — Antibodies linked to grass pollen, a common cause of seasonal symptoms.
  • Specific IgE to weeds — Antibodies linked to weed pollens such as sagebrush or ragweed.
  • Specific IgE to trees — Antibodies linked to tree pollens common in the region.
  • Specific IgE to molds — Antibodies linked to mold spores found indoors and outdoors.
  • Specific IgE to pet dander — Antibodies linked to cat, dog, or other animal proteins.

Who it is for

A primary care clinician, allergist, or other licensed provider typically orders this test. It may be requested for adults or children with persistent or seasonal allergy-like symptoms.

Preparation

No fasting is required. Tell the provider about any medications you take, because some drugs can affect antibody levels.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as levels of each antibody, often grouped by allergen. A clinician interprets them alongside your symptoms and history, since a positive result alone does not confirm an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified clinician.
