Imutest Dust Mite 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.
Dust mites are among the main causes of year-round allergies and asthma. The immediate cause of allergic reactions is a protein contained in their droppings.
The Imutest Dust Mite test is suitable for indicative home assessment of sensitivity to dust mite allergens using a drop of blood taken from the fingertip.
The test may be especially appreciated by people with year-round allergic symptoms, parents of young children, and anyone who wants a quick indicative insight into a possible dust mite allergy at home.
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
Dust mites are among the main causes of year-round allergies and asthma and affect almost 10% of the population.
Insufficiently addressed allergic symptoms may also be associated with further complications, such as worsening breathing difficulties or the development of asthmatic manifestations.
