Dust Mites
Dust Mites are microscopic organisms that thrive on human skin cells. They can be found in all pillows, mattresses, and carpets any time of the year. The protein in their waste and saliva is the cause of irritation. We test and treat for these.
Molds
Molds are present all year. They live and thrive indoors as well as outdoors where it is moist and dark. The molds we test and treat for are Alternaria, Aspergillus, Curvularia, Epicoccum, Helminthosporium, Hormodendrum, Penicillium, Pullularia, Rhodotorula, Verticillium, Corn Smut, etc.
Animals, Insect
The protein in their waste and saliva is the cause of irritation as well as their dander. We test and treat for Cat, Dog, and Cockroach.
Foods
We can test for any food that may be causing an allergic response. Food testing is done by a simple blood test that measures your antibodies created against those food groups.
