An allergy is a substance (known as an allergen) that the body’s immune system views to be harmful. In response to contact with the allergen, the immune system overreacts, triggering unpleasant symptoms like:
- A runny or congested nose
- Post-nasal drip
- Sneezing
- Watery, red, or itchy eyes
- Coughing or sore throat

This simple and painless test usually takes about one hour to complete and allows Dr. Scotch to pinpoint what specific allergens are to blame for a patient’s symptoms.
