Frequently asked questions
Do I need to avoid salmon before the test?
No. The test measures antibodies already in your blood. You do not need to eat or avoid salmon beforehand.

What if my result is positive but I have no symptoms?
A positive result alone does not always mean you are allergic. Your clinician will consider your history and may suggest further evaluation.
How long does it take to get results?
