About this test

This test measures IgE antibodies against 49 allergens commonly linked to skin reactions, spanning food and drink, indoor allergens such as dust mites and pet dander, mould, tree and grass pollens, and latex. It is aimed at people with persistent skin symptoms such as itching, redness or hives who want to check for an underlying allergic trigger.

At £119 it is tied with the provider's own Indoor & Outdoor Allergy Test as the cheapest test in the allergy comparison group, 60% below the £299 median. Its 49 markers sit between the narrower Indoor & Outdoor Test (40 items) and the broader Food Allergy Test (60 items, £139.99) in the same range.

It scores well for clinical depth relative to the wider allergy group and for value for money given how far it undercuts the median. It scores slightly lower for clarity and documentation than some of the provider's other allergy tests because only some of its markers are named individually rather than the full list, and it scores lowest for results and follow-up since results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits you if your main symptoms are skin-related, such as eczema, hives or contact reactions, and you want a panel that includes latex alongside food and environmental triggers. If your symptoms are more general, the provider's Food & Environmental Allergy Test covers 117 items across both food and environmental categories for £159.99.

How it works

You take a finger-prick blood sample at home and post it to the lab using the provided return envelope, with the provider stating results in three working days from receipt. Every order includes a 30-minute consultation with a certified nutritionist. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • 49 allergens covered, including latex alongside food and environmental triggers
  • Tied as the cheapest allergy test in the comparison group at £119
  • Includes a 30-minute nutritionist consultation

Cons

  • No doctor review of results as standard, like the rest of the range
  • Only some markers are named individually on the listing, not the full panel
  • Narrower than the provider's own Food & Environmental or Premium Allergy tests
