Free Allergy Screening
The purpose of the FREE ALLERGY SCREEN is to find out what specific allergies
you may or may not have. You will be tested for 10 sets of allergens which will
include a positive and negative control. The 8 sets of allergens will consist of
grass (Bermuda, Bahia, Fescue, Johnson), weeds (Short Ragweed, English Plantain,
Red-Root Pigweed, Sorrel, Lamb’s Quarter), trees (Oak, Elm, Pecan, Maple,
Birch), molds (Penicillium, Cladosporium, Aspergillus, Alternaria), cat, dog,
dust and cockroach.
Before the screening test, a health care provider will do a brief screening questionnaire. If anything is revealed in the interview which would make you unsafe for testing, then the test will not be done and an office visit will be recommended. If you have taken a medication which would interfere with the test results and/or drank alcohol four days prior to testing, the test may not be done.
After the preliminary questions have been covered and an initial exam of the ear, nose, throat and lungs have been performed with no abnormal lung findings, the medical staff member will place the Skintestor Omni Allergy Screen test on the forearm of the patient. The results will be read and recorded 15 minutes after the application of the allergens.
After the results are read and recorded, the provider will review the data with the patient and discuss an appropriate plan.
