Allergy Tests

We are exposed to many allergens in our daily lives. It has been proven that the immune system plays a very important role in the development of many diseases, and allergies can cause more problems for our health than expected.

The most common allergens we are exposed to are:

• Allergens that enter the body through the airways: These enter the body especially through the lungs, the respiratory system and the throat. The best known and most common of these are pollens. When pollen and dust are inhaled, people with allergies may have symptoms such as repeated coughing and sneezing, a watery and persistent runny nose, red and watery eyes, and severe shortness of breath.
• Foods: Food ingredients such as seafood, nuts or soy can cause allergic reactions whose characteristics vary according to each person's immune response.
• Contact allergens: These cause a reaction on your skin through contact and can lead to itching, redness and widespread rashes that may spread over the whole body. They may include various clothes, jewelry and plants that have touched the skin.
