Overview of Environmental Allergies and Their Impact 

Environmental allergies are immune system reactions caused by certain substances in your environment. These substances are mostly harmless if you are not allergic to them. However, if you have an allergy to a substance, your immune system overreacts to its presence. You may be allergic to more than one substance at a time. 

The moment you are exposed to a substance that you are allergic to (allergen) for the first time, your immune system will start producing immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against that specific allergen. This means your body has now developed a sensitivity to the specific allergen. The next time you are exposed to the allergen, the antibodies in your blood activate immediately and cause the release of chemicals like histamine, which leads to symptoms of allergy such as hives, itchy and runny nose, red and watering eyes, cough, and migraine. Typically, your symptoms show up within a few seconds or minutes.

A Glimpse at Common Environmental Allergens 

The following allergens commonly cause environmental allergies: 

• Pollen: Pollen are microscopic spores from weeds, grass, and trees that resemble fine dust and help the plants reproduce. Pollen levels are frequently at their peak in the morning and increase on hot, windy days. 

• Moulds: Moulds are tiny fungi that release airborne spores. Mould is often found in moist areas with little to no airflow, for example, your bathroom, kitchen or basement. Mould can grow outside in areas with grass, mulch, hay, leaf piles, and under mushrooms. In hot and humid weather, mould spores are most abundant. 

• Animal Saliva and Dander: Pet dander is made up of tiny scales from your pet's skin, hair, or feathers. Your pet's sweat glands release substances into their skin and fur, which might lead to an allergic reaction. A pet's saliva may also cause allergies. 

• Dust Mites: Dust mites are tiny spider-like creatures that cannot be seen with the naked eye. They sustain themselves on the skin shed by you and your pet and are found in mattresses, drapes, carpets, bedding, and upholstered (fabric) furniture. If you breathe in the proteins from their remains, excrement, and urine (pee), you may experience allergies. 

• Cockroaches: The proteins in their excrement, spit, eggs, and decomposing body parts may cause allergies. 

• Smoke: Smoke of any kind can result in a non-IgE response that is similar to allergies. Smoke from marijuana, scented candles, and tobacco products including cigarettes, cigars, and vapes can cause irritation, which mimics an allergic reaction. 

• Dust: Dust is a collection of minute particles of substances such as dead skin cells, hair, pollen, textile fibres, dust mites, insect parts, dirt, pathogens, and other microscopic particles. 

Environmental Allergy Test in Hyderabad: Purpose and Advantages 

Allergy testing for environmental allergens aims to help you figure out what's causing your allergic symptoms like sneezing, itching, or hives. Once you know what these things are, you can try to stay away from them. This makes your life more comfortable because you won't have to deal with allergy symptoms as often. 

When you share this information with your doctor, they can prescribe you medicines for your symptoms or even injections that will help your allergies go away with time. 

Orange Health Labs provides environmental allergy tests to check for allergies to 22 different allergens grouped into 6 categories. These tests are done at your home, and the samples are checked in our ICMR- and NABL-certified labs. 

Distinguishing Environmental Allergy Testing from Skin Prick Tests 

Your doctor may suggest an environmental allergy panel test to help diagnose your environmental allergies based on your symptoms and potential allergens.  

• Skin Prick Test: 

• During this test, a fine needle (lancet) will be used to prick your skin with 10 to 50  environmental allergens. If you are allergic to any of the allergens, an allergic reaction will begin within 15 minutes of exposure, which will be noted. 

• Although the skin prick test is less expensive and yields findings faster compared to IgE blood testing, there are drawbacks as well, including the limited number of allergens that may be tested, the difficulty in getting young children to consent, the need to withhold a number of necessary drugs before the test, and a small risk of anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction that can be life-threatening) during the test. 

• Environmental Allergy Panel Test (blood test for IgE) 

• During this blood test, a tiny amount of blood will be collected from a vein in your arm using a thin needle. The blood sample will be sent to a laboratory to be tested against the allergens, and the reaction will be measured by the amount of IgE antibodies released.  

• The IgE blood test is ordered if the skin prick test is not available or if the suspected allergen is not covered in the skin prick testing panel. It is also done when the skin prick testing is negative despite you having a history of allergy or you have had a history of anaphylaxis to an allergen.
