About the test
This test checks for allergic reactions to 5 common insect venoms by looking for specific IgE antibodies in the blood. It's a good alternative to skin tests in certain cases. Remember, a positive result means you have these antibodies, but it doesn't always mean you'll have an allergic reaction. Only a Provider can confirm if you're truly allergic after a full check-up.
Who might need this test?
If you or your Provider suspect you might be allergic to insect stings, this test can help find out which ones could cause you problems.
