Why should you take an allergy test?

One in three Europeans already suffers from an allergy - and the number is rising. Allergies are therefore one of the most common chronic diseases and are often associated with unpleasant restrictions on quality of life.

However, many sufferers are unaware that certain symptoms indicate an allergy. In particular, supposedly mild symptoms such as sneezing or burning eyes are often not taken seriously and the consequences are underestimated.

Symptoms of an allergy

• Swelling and redness, especially on mucous membranes
• Runny nose and sneezing
• Tingling, burning and tears in the eyes
• Often headaches, breathing difficulties, fatigue and diarrhoea

An untreated allergy can lead to a worsening of the symptoms in the long term. If, for example, a pollen allergy remains undetected for a long time, bronchial symptoms can be added to the initial hay fever. A so-called floor change takes place. The symptoms intensify and migrate from the upper to the lower airways. A cough can therefore develop into asthma.

With the scientifically based and comprehensive diagnostics of the igevia Allergy Test, allergy triggers are precisely determined and those affected can take targeted countermeasures in good time.
