The term allergy refers to a hypersensitivity of the immune system to foreign substances, which usually are not dangerous (allergens). Your immune system creates antibodies to allergens during the first contact with the allergen sources (allergisation); any further contact can trigger a violent defensive reaction (symptom).

​

What allergens are tested?

• Plants: grass, herbs, pollen from sunflowers

A few drops of capillary blood are enough for running the test. Sampling this blood is usually a painless process. This type of test provides a precise determination of allergenic individual components, without direct contact with the test substances, as it is the case for skin tests.
