The Southern Florida Allergy Test Panel is a blood test that checks for immune system reactions to allergens common in southern Florida, such as certain pollens, mold spores, dust mites, and pet dander. It is ordered when a person has ongoing allergy symptoms and a clinician wants to identify which specific substances may be triggering them.

What it measures

  • Specific IgE antibodies — Proteins the immune system makes in response to a particular allergen.
  • Grass and weed pollens — Common outdoor allergens that can cause sneezing, itchy eyes, and nasal congestion.
  • Tree pollens — Seasonal allergens from trees such as oak, cedar, and palm.
  • Mold spores — Fungal particles that thrive in warm, humid climates and can trigger respiratory symptoms.
  • Dust mites and pet dander — Indoor allergens from tiny insects and animal skin flakes.
  • Total IgE — A general measure of allergic activity, though it does not identify a specific trigger.

Who it is for

A primary care clinician, allergist, or immunologist typically orders this panel after reviewing symptoms and exposure history. It is often used when skin testing is not practical or when a broader allergen profile is needed.

Preparation

No fasting is required. Tell your clinician about any antihistamines or other medications you take, because some can affect test results.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as levels of specific IgE for each allergen, often grouped by low, moderate, or high. A clinician interprets these levels alongside your symptoms and history; a positive result alone does not confirm an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.

Frequently asked questions

Does this test hurt?

It uses a standard blood draw from a vein in your arm, which feels like a brief pinch.

How soon will I get results?

Do I need to stop my allergy medication?

Ask your clinician. Some medications may need to be paused, but never stop a prescribed medicine without checking first.

Can this test tell me what I am allergic to right now?

It shows sensitization to allergens, but your clinician must combine results with your symptoms to identify true triggers.
