How can I find out if I am allergic to hazel?

A blood test can be used to investigate an allergy to hazel pollen by measuring levels of specific antibodies in the blood that are associated with allergic reactions to hazel pollen. The test is called a specific IgE test.

The results of the test will show if you have an allergic reaction to hazel or not. If the levels of specific IgE antibodies are high, it may indicate that you are allergic to hazel pollen.

It is important to note that the results of an IgE test do not always correlate completely with allergy symptoms and that the test is only part of the investigation process.
