It means that you have signs that show that your body may be sensitive to a particular allergen. A positive test does not mean that you are definitely reacting to the allergen. It is important for your doctor to look at your history and your positive testing and then assess if the symptoms are related to allergies.

• Identifying specific allergens can help you reduce exposure. For example, if you are allergic to dust mites you can get dust mite covers and keep your humidity level below 50% which will help to reduce your allergens.
• Your CLEARED allergist can determine if you are a candidate for certain long term therapies like immunotherapy.

In general, IgE antibodies can be measured at any time. When you are able to take the test is up to you. However, once you collect the sample it is very important to send it in the mail immediately. If you wait to too long, then we may not be able to process your sample.

After the lab receives your sample, it typically takes 5 business days to receive your results. You will receive an email confirmation when your results are ready and you can access them in your CLEARED profile. A CLEARED Allergist will send you a detailed message outlining your results and any change in therapy recommended based on your test results.
