Why Allergy Testing Is Important

Allergy testing helps identify the specific triggers responsible for your symptoms. This allows for more precise diagnosis and targeted treatment.
Testing is not required for every patient and is recommended based on your evaluation and medical history.

What Allergy Testing Can Identify

Testing may help identify sensitivities to:

  • Environmental allergens (pollen, dust mites, mold, pet dander)

  • Certain foods

  • Medications (in specific cases)

  • Insect-related allergens

Types of Allergy Testing

At AASP, testing may include:

  • Skin testing

  • Selective laboratory testing (when appropriate)

The type of testing used depends on your symptoms and clinical history.

Understanding Test Results

Test results are always interpreted in context.
A positive test does not always mean a true allergy, and a negative test does not rule out all causes.
Our physicians explain results clearly and guide next steps based on your individual case.
