Allergies

Do you know what you’re allergic to?

Knowing your allergy status can help you avoid these allergens and prevent the risk of experiencing a
serious allergic reaction. At SYNLAB, we provide accurate and reliable diagnostic services to help you
know your allergy triggers.

Are you at risk of developing allergies?

Allergies occur when your immune system reacts to a foreign substance such as pollen, bee venom,
pet dander (material shed by cats, dogs, and other animals with fur or feathers), or food that doesn’t
cause a reaction in most people.

Allergies can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender. Some people are more prone to developing
allergies due to genetic factors, environmental factors, or a combination of both. It's important to
note that allergies can develop at any time, even if you haven't had an allergic reaction in the past.

Knowing your allergy diagnosis has many benefits. It can help you find precise treatment solutions,
prevent severe allergic reactions, create a manageable diet, determine if an allergy has been
outgrown, and identify allergens to avoid at home or work.

Understanding the different allergy categories

Do you have food allergies? For most people, going to a celebration with plenty of food is an amazing experience. But for parents of children with food allergies and even adults with food allergies, any event that involves food is filled with stress and worry. This is because coming in contact with the wrong food can cause a serious allergic reaction. Our tests can help identify the specific food that's causing the allergic reaction, allowing you to make informed choices about your diet and avoid harmful situations.

Do you have airborne allergies? Many people are allergic to things like dust, pollen, cigarette smoke, dead skin and fur. They can trigger allergic symptoms such as sneezing, stuffy nose, coughing, itchy skin, rash, watery, itchy, and red eyes, and sore throat. If you've been experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to get tested to find out what's causing your reaction. Our tests can help determine which allergen is causing your symptoms, allowing you to avoid exposure and find relief.

Are you allergic to animals? Living with animal allergies can be a real challenge, especially if you love pets. Animal allergies are common, particularly in people who have other allergies or asthma. People may have an allergy to any animal, especially those with fur or feathers. However, most animal allergies result from a person coming into contact with cats and dogs. As a result, not everyone can experience the joy of being around household pets. Our tests can help identify the specific animal that's causing the allergic reaction, allowing you to make informed decisions about pet ownership and avoid exposure.

Are you allergic to insects? Most insects are harmless and good for the environment. Some, like mosquitoes, inflict painful or irritating bites and spread diseases. Other insects sting and release venom. For most people, insect stings only cause a minor reaction. This may include some redness, swelling, or itching at the site of the sting. This normally goes away within hours. For some people, however, an insect sting can cause a severe reaction or even death. Our tests can help identify which insects cause you to have an allergic reaction, allowing you to avoid harmful situations.

Are you allergic to certain chemicals? Chemical allergies are more common than you might think. They can cause a variety of symptoms, including skin rash, itchy skin, hives, watery, itchy, and red eyes, chronic pain, and swelling. If you've been experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to get tested to find out what's causing your reaction. Our tests can help determine which chemical is causing the allergic reaction, allowing you to avoid exposure and find relief.
