Imutest Cat Allergy Test Kit
When the test is useful
Allergy is an inappropriate reaction of the immune system to otherwise harmless substances in the surrounding environment. When the body comes into contact with an allergen, it reacts defensively and releases histamine, which causes typical allergy symptoms.
Cat allergens are among the smallest and most problematic airborne allergens. The main allergen is a protein present in cat sweat and saliva, and the particles can remain suspended in the air for six hours or longer.
The Imutest Cat test is suitable for indicative home assessment of sensitivity to cat allergens using a drop of blood taken from the fingertip.
The test may be appreciated by busy people, parents of young children, and anyone who wants a quick indicative overview of a possible cat allergy.
Symptoms for which the test may be useful
The most common symptoms of allergic conditions include:
  • sneezing, itching, and a blocked nose,
  • itchy and red eyes,
  • eczema or hives,
  • cough, shortness of breath, or wheezing.
Why allergy should not be underestimated
According to available information, patients with allergic rhinitis have a 3.5 times higher likelihood of developing asthma than the rest of the population.
Insufficiently treated allergy may also be associated with complications such as loss of taste, loss of smell, or inflammation of the sinuses.
