Allergy Test
This is just one of MANY at-home tests out there.<br /><br />I actually have experience with a similar test – my mom’s A1c test that is sent every few months. In fact, she got one just a few days before I posted this review.<br /><br />This works IDENTICAL to that one.<br /><br />Each has:<br /><br />✉️ Pre-paid mailer to send back<br />💉 Lancets (at least 3)<br />🧼 Alcohol Prep Pad<br />🩸Card for blood droplets<br />📃 Instructions<br />☣️ Bio-Hazard bag for sample card<br />🩹 Band-aid(s) for after<br /><br />The idea is simple – prep the card (with the sticker and fill out info), wash hands, prick fingers, droplets on card, wait until it dries, package it up, mail within a certain amount of time.<br /><br />As for the accuracy …<br /><br />My mom’s A1c was pretty accurate when done this way.<br /><br />This allergy test? I was a bit surprised by the results – no to nuts, which I thought I had an issue with. Turns out – maybe not. Goat cheese (feta) – no allergy there. STRONG reaction to goat’s milk. That’s interesting, but I wouldn’t doubt it.<br /><br />The cost? Under $150, probably comparable to a lab if you don’t have insurance.<br /><br />It is from a certified lab and the results are viewed by a physician. I wouldn’t use it to self-treat, but it isn’t bad to know what’s going on.
