Value for money!

It shows the degree to which your allergic to something, e.g. grasses in my case were my worse allergy.

It tests for wheat, milk, cat, mold, various grasses/ and more

I found the kit easy to use and I had no trouble sticking myself to produce enough blood for a sample. The instructions were easy to follow and I received my results within a week. I found out I am highly allergic to several things I am exposed to daily! Since finding out, I have seen improvement in my symptoms by avoiding th3 allergens. This test is affordable and I would recommend this to friends and family.

Did this test before allergologist visit. Allergy testing in the doctors office showed 2+ (worst level is 3+)result for one of the tests what this home test answered as "negative". Very unreliable!

This item arived quickly, directions were easy to follow and I had no problem using the lancets or getting my sample in the tube. The hardest part was dropping it in the mail (I dont live close to a mailbox)! I received my results quickly and from there I was able to stay away from things that posed a problem (dust and cats!!!). Looking forward to them coming out with more tests for things like dogs, nuts, bee stings, etc.

The lancets for this product are extremely dull and short, and you can't re-stick. If you're a "hard stick," count on having to spend about 20 dollars more for lancets and a sticking device (I got mine from Walgreens). Also, I thought it was difficult to actually close the test tube, and I'm not sure that the blood didn't leak out on the way to the testing facility.

My results were obtained so quickly after mailing that I wondered whether or not the sample had actually been tested, especially since my results were all negative and I'm fairly certain that I'm allergic to at least one of the substances tested.

I am very dubious about this product.

This product was easy to administer and the results came back in a timely fashion. I would recommend using this testing before attending an allergist.

I bought the my allergy test kit for my 10 yr old child who has been experiencing the common sympotoms of runny nose, itchy/water eyes, cough and congestion. The kit arrived with in a week of ordering it. It was very easy to use. Has a lancet to stick the finger, just like a diabetic would. You collect the sample in this tiny little vile, put all the id stickers on and send it off in the mail with the included prepaid envelope. There is no additional cost with this test kit! We received our results back just over 1 month later. I provided the company with my email address so they sent the email saying the results were ready and all i had to do was log in and view my printable report. This kit tests allergies to:egg, wheat, milk, mold, household dust, and four diff kinds of grass. I did like that the test results tell you what the allergy is to and how severe it is. My son tested positive to both the timothy and bermuda grass. This definately makes sense because he cant breath when we are at a park and will itch terribly. The one thing i did notice is that he tested negative to cats which means his level is less than .35. He tolerates our cat just fine along with his friends, however, if he is in a home with multiple cats his reacation is severe and has required breathing treatments. So I'm not sure if the test shows him negative because he can still tollerate one cat and just not mulitiples?? Perhaps my son's reaction was at .34 just below the cut off to test positive for cats, since again, he does tollerate our cat just fine. I would also like to mention that my son was taking a daily dose of claritin when he was tested. That's one thing that makes this blood test so nice. Even if you are on a antihistime, you still get an accurate result with a blood test where you dont on the scratch test. A friend of mine also did this test on her child and then took her child to the Dr. for a scratch test and the results matched so I feel comfortable trusting the test. It is definately at least a good jumping off point.

I have always had allergies. Pro's: easy to use, affordable and FDA approved. Con's: didn't get it sooner. Now my allergies are easier to manage. I would recommend it to anyone who has allergies or wants early detection.

As someone who knows about food allergies, I am concerned about the implications of food allergy testing with any product, including this one. Specifically, a positive food allergy test DOES NOT mean you are allergic to the food. It only raises the possibility of an allergy. This test only tests for one type of food allergy reaction - there can be other types of reactions people have that this test does not test for.

If you are concerned about a food allergy, my advice is to talk to your doctor or someone who is experienced and trained in these things. Otherwise, a test is just a test. You need someone who can interpret it for you!

Product performed as it said it would. Although, I can not confirm the accuracy.
