Frequently asked questions
What do the results mean?
A higher level of specific IgE may suggest an increased likelihood of allergy to olive pollen, but results must be interpreted by a clinician along with your symptoms and history. A low level does not completely rule out allergy. Your healthcare provider will explain what your results mean for you.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within a few business days after the lab receives your sample. The exact turnaround time can vary depending on the laboratory and any additional tests ordered. Check with your ordering provider or the lab for an estimate.
Do I need to fast before this test?
Fasting is not usually required for allergy blood tests. However, always follow the specific instructions provided by the lab that will collect your sample. If you have other tests scheduled, those may require fasting.
Can this test tell me if I outgrew an allergy?
Allergy test results can change over time, but a single test cannot determine whether you have outgrown an allergy. Your clinician may repeat testing if your symptoms change. They will interpret any changes alongside your clinical history.
