Fermanagh Blood Tests
Understanding your allergies is crucial for improving your overall health and well-being. At Fermanagh Blood Testing Clinic, we offer the Allergy Complete blood testing service, designed to provide you with an in-depth analysis of potential allergens affecting your life. This state-of-the-art 295 allergy blood test assesses a wide range of triggers, enabling you to take control of your health and make informed decisions about your lifestyle.
What Is the Allergy Complete Profile?
This advanced allergy testing service evaluates your immune system’s response to 295 potential allergens. It measures specific IgE antibodies in your blood, providing detailed insights into the allergens that may be causing your symptoms. Unlike traditional skin-prick tests, which can sometimes be uncomfortable and require direct exposure to allergens, an allergy blood test is a convenient, highly accurate, and minimally invasive alternative.
The Allergy Complete test covers a vast range of common and uncommon allergens, including:
- Environmental allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and pet dander.
- Food allergens including nuts, dairy, gluten, and shellfish.
- Inhalants like mould spores and grasses.
- Chemical sensitivities to specific substances.
With this comprehensive test, you’ll gain clarity on the root causes of your allergic reactions, from seasonal hay fever to potential food intolerances, helping you to better manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life.

Who Should Consider an Allergy Blood Test?
An allergy blood test is beneficial for anyone experiencing symptoms that may be linked to allergies, including:
- Persistent sneezing, nasal congestion, or watery eyes.
- Unexplained skin conditions such as eczema or hives.
- Digestive issues like bloating, cramps, or diarrhoea after eating certain foods.
- Breathing difficulties, wheezing, or frequent asthma attacks.
- Reactions that occur after contact with pets, dust, or pollen.
Additionally, if you have a family history of allergies, this test can help you take preventative measures to avoid triggering symptoms. It is also a valuable tool for those with complex symptoms, where multiple allergens may be at play.
