Types of Allergies and Their Tests

By Haldebis Mobile Phlebotomy

Allergies come in many forms—from food and pollen to medication and insect stings. At Haldebis Mobile Phlebotomy, we offer blood-based allergy testing in the comfort of your home across Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia.

Common Allergy Types:

  • Food Allergies – (e.g., peanuts, shellfish)
    Test: IgE blood test for food-specific allergens
  • Seasonal Allergies – (e.g., pollen, grass)
    Test: Environmental allergen panel
  • Animal Allergies – (e.g., cats, dogs)
    Test: Pet dander antibody testing
  • Drug Allergies – (e.g., penicillin)
    Test: Blood test for medication-specific IgE
  • Insect Allergies – (e.g., bee stings)
    Test: Venom-specific IgE blood test

🧪 No skin pricks. Just a gentle blood draw.

Fun Fact: Allergy testing can detect reactions you didn’t even know you had!
Weirdest Thing: Some people are allergic to cold weather (cold urticaria)!
