Order Spruce Allergy Test | Tree PollenSpruce trees are common evergreens that release lightweight pollen during their seasonal bloom.

The Spruce Allergy Test measures IgE antibodies in the blood to help identify whether an allergic response to spruce pollen is present.
About Spruce Allergy Test | Tree Pollen in Bethlehem
The Spruce Allergy Test is a blood-based IgE antibody test used to assess sensitivity to spruce tree pollen.
IgE antibodies are part of the immune system's response to substances it mistakenly identifies as threats. When a person is sensitized to spruce pollen, their body may produce specific IgE antibodies that bind to proteins in the pollen. This test detects those antibodies in a blood sample.
Spruce trees are wind-pollinated, meaning their pollen is carried through the air rather than by insects. Pollen seasons vary by species and climate, but many spruce trees release pollen in spring. Because the grains are small and buoyant, they can travel long distances and contribute to seasonal airborne allergen loads.
A healthcare provider can interpret the results alongside a person's symptoms and exposure history. A positive result indicates sensitization to spruce pollen, which may or may not correspond to clinical allergy symptoms. A negative result makes spruce pollen allergy less likely but does not rule out reactions to other allergens.
