Allergy testing can be the key to unlocking the mystery behind these symptoms, providing a roadmap to a life free from chronic discomfort. Considering allergy testing is not just a choice; it’s an empowering decision to take control of your well-being!
Why Do You Need a Test For Allergy?

What Allergy Tests Do We Offer at Five Journeys?
Allergy Blood Testing
At Five Journeys, we specialize in allergy blood testing, which is a standard, comprehensive panel designed to identify environmental, seasonal, and food-borne allergens. This testing method is particularly beneficial for individuals who cannot undergo skin prick tests due to certain health conditions or medications. Our allergy blood tests provide valuable insights into allergic triggers, helping us tailor treatment plans accordingly. Whether you’re seeking an allergic reaction test or comprehensive allergy screening, we’re here to provide personalized solutions to meet your needs.
Referral to Allergologists
In cases of severe allergies or complex conditions, we work closely with allergologists to ensure our patients receive the most appropriate care. Allergologists specialize in diagnosing and managing allergies, offering advanced testing methods and treatment options for individuals with challenging allergic conditions. Whether you’re seeking specialized care at an allergy testing center or comprehensive treatment for complex allergies, our collaborative approach ensures you receive the highest quality of care.
Other Allergy Tests: While we offer a variety of allergy testing options to suit your needs, there are certain tests that we don’t currently provide. These may include:
Patch Testing
This test for allergy involves applying small amounts of potential allergens to the skin to see if they cause a reaction. It’s commonly used to diagnose contact dermatitis.
Intradermal Testing
In this test, a small amount of allergen is injected into the skin to observe any allergic reaction. It’s often used to diagnose allergies to medications or insect stings.
Provocation Testing
This test for allergy involves exposing the patient to suspected allergens in a controlled environment to provoke a reaction. It’s typically used when other allergic reaction tests are inconclusive.
