Confidentiality is built in — orders are private and results are accessed securely. Availability, hours, preparation, and pricing differ by collection site, so confirm those details with the lab before you go.
What it measures
- Total IgE — Overall level of allergy-related antibodies in the blood.
- Dandelion-specific IgE — Antibodies that target dandelion proteins; higher levels suggest sensitivity.
- Cross-reactive pollen IgE — Checks for similar allergens like ragweed or grass that may cause false results.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally before the blood draw, and the test can be done at any time of day.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a numerical level of dandelion-specific IgE, often with a reference range. A clinician interprets the number alongside your symptoms and history; a positive result alone does not confirm an allergy. This information is general and not medical advice—discuss your results with a qualified healthcare professional.

No. It only shows sensitivity; the severity of an allergic reaction cannot be predicted from this test alone.
How long does it take to get results?
Most results are available within 1 to 3 business days.
Is the blood draw painful?
You may feel a brief pinch when the needle goes in, but the draw itself usually takes only a minute or two.
