Alternaria Alternata allergy test is a blood test that detects the presence of an allergy to Alternaria Alternata. It measures the amount of allergen-specific IgE antibodies in the blood.

Alternaria Alternata is one of the most commonly found moulds in dry climates. This outdoor fungus usually grows on soil and other mediums, including:

  • Bird nests 
  • Iron
  • Corn silage
  • Rotten wood
  • Bricks
  • Canvas
  • Cereal grains, etc.

You may also find this mould in humid indoor places (e.g., bathrooms). They occur in the form of large brown spots, and repeated exposure to their spores might lead to allergies.

Allergy to this fungus can cause the following symptoms:

  • Nasal congestion 
  • Wheezing
  • Coughing 
  • Dry and scaly skin 
  • Watery eyes 
  • Runny nose 
  • Constant sneezing 
  • Itchy throat, nose, eyes

If you start experiencing any of these symptoms upon exposure to Alternaria Alternata, you probably have an Alternaria allergy.

Constant exposure and mould sensitisation can lead to upper and lower respiratory diseases, including asthma.

Other known allergic reactions to the Alternaria Alternata mould are:

  • Allergic sinusitis 
  • Fungal ball production within the sinuses
  • Allergic rhinitis (hay fever)

A very small number of asthma patients might develop rashes on the skin, known as hives (urticarial), every time they consume yeast or mould.

Alternaria Alternata allergy can cause symptoms similar to other types of allergies. This phenomenon is known as cross-reactivity, where your body shows an allergic reaction to structurally or biologically related substances.

Hence, if you experience any of the above symptoms, get yourself tested with Apollo 24|7’s comprehensive Alternaria Alternata test. The Alternaria Alternata allergy test cost is quite reasonable, and you can expect the results within six days.

Additionally, you can take the following steps to prevent exposure to the Alternaria mould:

  • Actively avoid places where you have noticed mould growth before. 
  • Stay away from a damp pile of leaves and other surfaces where the Alternaria mould might grow. 
  • Keep mowing your lawn regularly. 
  • Make sure your home is moisture-free. This will make conditions less favourable for mould growth. 
  • Install air conditioners that have been fitted with a HEPA filter attachment.
