The MyAllergyTest is a home blood collection kit and mail-in testing service,
used to determine if you have allergies to 10 of the most common allergens:
Timothy Grass, Egg White, Bermuda Grass, Milk, Mountain Cedar, Wheat, Short
Ragweed, Cat, Alternaria (mold), House Dust Mite.
The blood sample is analyzed using the MyAllergyTest System, a test performed in
a licensed laboratory.
Step One: GET PREPARED.
Get to know your MyAllergyTest Kit. Make sure your kit has all of the kit
components identified in the directions. Also, read the directions very
carefully. If after you have read the directions you are still unsure about how
to stick your finger, call the MyAllergyTest help line (800- 807-1968). You
should also make sure your Registration Card and Personal Identification Card
are filled out properly. The MyAllergyTest Laboratory must receive your
Registration Card and your blood sample within 10 days of blood collection.
Please write in the date of blood collection on the Registration Card. Finally,
wash your hands with soap and warm tap water (not hot). Dry your hands
thoroughly.
Step Two: GET A BLOOD SAMPLE
For best results, collect the blood sample before eating or several hours after
a meal. High fat meals may affect results. Using the safety lancet provided, you
prick your fingertip and place drops of blood into the staw of the blood
Collection Tube. Keep collecting blood until the blood reaches the lower edge of
the label on the Blood Collection Tube. You will need about 4 to 5 drops of
blood.
Step Three: ATTACH THE BAR CODE LABELS
Attach Label 1 to the Personal Information Card. Keep this card in a safe
location. You will need your PIN (Personal Identification Number) to get your
test results from the Internet. Attach Label 2 to the Registration Card. Write
your name on Label 3 and attach it to the Blood Collection Tube, so that the bar
code and number ends are back to back, as seen in the picture. Attach Label 4 to
the pre-addressed Foil Shipping Envelope.
Step Four: MAIL YOUR BLOOD SAMPLE
Check your Blood Collection Tube. Make sure it is fully closed and that Label 3
is attached to it. Leave the small paper towel in the Bubble Wrap Envelope. Put
your Blood Collection Tube into the Bubble Wrap Envelope, and seal well. Put the
Registration Card and the Bubble Wrap Envelope in the Foil Shipping Envelope,
and seal well. Place in any US mailbox as soon as possible. The MyAllergyTest
Laboratory must receive your Registration Card and your blood sample
within 10 days of blood collection.
Step Five: OBTAIN YOUR RESULTS
There are two ways to get MyAllergyTest results:
1. On the Internet: Go to www.ImmuneTech.com
and follow the instructions. You will need the Personal Identification Number
(PIN) (on your Personal Information Card) and your email address.

Card.
