Allergy - English Plantain Test

Allergy - English Plantain Test

also known as: English Plantain

The English plantain is a plant species found in the North America. It is a short, herb plant. It sheds a lot of pollens and is regarded as one of the most allergenic plants. Of the 16 different pollens of this plant, 6 were found to contain allergenic antigens. The English plantain allergy test is used to detect the presence of these allergens in a person’s blood. The test reveals patterns which help the doctor in coming to the right treatment. This allergy, if left untreated, can cause harmful consequences such as hypersensitivity diseases.

This test does not require any special preparations. You only need to consult the doctor before the test about the daily medications you are on. Some medicines need to be avoided for improving the test results. Make sure that you wear clothes which are suitable for a blood test.

The English plantain allergy test is used to define the patient’s allergic reaction to the IgE antibodies from the herb plant. This test gives information about the following issues: Examining the presence of common antigens as well as those that specific to a particular species of English plantain Risk of allergic conjunctivitis, allergic rhinitis, asthma, and wheezing bronchitis Prospect of cutaneous hypersensitivity which is a condition wherein the body is unable to react appropriately to antigens Increased risk of allergic diseases

The allergy test is conducted through any of the two methods: blood test or skin prick test. The former involves drawing out a sample of blood from the body. This sample is tested at the lab by experimenting with the IgE antibodies. The second method involves injecting a few antigens into your skin to test the reaction. It is less preferred these days due to the pain involved if the results are positive for the allergy test.
