Your request stays private, and you choose where the specimen is collected. Availability, hours, preparation, and pricing differ by collection site, so confirm those details with the lab before you go.
What it measures
- Specific IgE to melaleuca pollen — Antibody linked to respiratory allergy symptoms.
- Specific IgE to melaleuca oil — Antibody linked to skin or contact reactions.
- Total IgE — General allergy antibody level, sometimes included for context.
- Serum tryptase — Enzyme measured when a severe reaction is being evaluated.
Preparation
No fasting is needed. Tell your clinician about all medicines, especially antihistamines, because they can affect allergy test results.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a level or class for each specific IgE marker. A clinician interprets them alongside your history and symptoms; a positive result alone does not confirm an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.

Frequently asked questions
Does a positive result mean I am allergic?
Not always. A positive result shows sensitization, which may or may not cause symptoms. Your clinician will review your history.
Can I take antihistamines before the test?
Ask your clinician first. Some antihistamines can lower allergy antibody results, so timing may need to be adjusted.
Is this test painful?
It uses a standard blood draw, so you may feel a brief pinch when the needle goes in.
How soon will I get results?
Typical turnaround is 1 to 3 business days, though it can vary by lab.
