- Specific IgE to pollens — Antibodies that react to tree, grass, and weed pollens common in Southern California.
- Specific IgE to dust mites — Antibodies that react to microscopic insects found in household dust.
- Specific IgE to animal dander — Antibodies that react to proteins in cat, dog, or other pet skin cells and saliva.

Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the blood draw, and you do not need to stop allergy medications unless your clinician tells you to.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as numerical levels for each allergen, often with a reference range. A clinician interprets these numbers alongside your symptoms and history; a positive result does not always mean you have an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.
