Allergy is a common medical condition where the body's immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance. An allergic reaction can occur when you inhale, touch, or ingest a substance that your immune system perceives as harmful. One of the many allergens that can cause an allergic reaction is horse dander. The Allergy, Horse Dander panel test is designed to detect and measure the level of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood that triggers an allergic reaction to horse dander.

Symptoms of Allergy, Horse Dander

An allergic reaction to horse dander can cause a range of symptoms that vary from mild to severe. Some common symptoms include:
1. Runny nose
2. Sneezing
3. Itchy and watery eyes
4. Skin rashes or hives
5. Breathing difficulties
6. Swelling of the lips, face or tongue.

In some people, exposure to horse dander can also trigger asthma symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness.

Test Procedure

The blood test is a quick and easy way to diagnose an allergy to horse dander. No fasting is required for this test. A healthcare professional will collect a small sample of blood from a vein in your arm using a sterile needle and syringe. The sample will then be sent to the laboratory for analysis.

At the lab, the blood sample is analyzed for the presence of IgE antibodies that react to horse dander. The test usually consists of a series of blood tests that detect specific IgE antibodies to different allergens found in horse dander. The test results are usually reported within 7 days.
