Remember allergies are not the same as intolerances

People with a food intolerance to certain foods can typically eat a small amount without having any severe immediate reactions. In contrast, people with a food allergy can have a reaction within hours or minutes with the tiniest amount of food. This reaction can be very severe or even fatal.

Taking the AllergyCheck Test

Fill in the enclosed customer details form and write your name and date clearly on the side of the orange tube with the pen provided. Then soak you hands in warm water for one minute and dry thoroughly.

Hold your finger or thumb directly over the orange tube to drop the blood in. Keep massaging until to produce a few droplets of blood until it reaches the orange line.

 

Place the lancet on your finger or thumb and press the purple part of the lancet down to pierce your skin. Massage your finger or thumb until there are large droplets of blood.
