The Purpose of a Fire Ants Allergen Profile Blood Test
Fire ants may be small, but they can trigger a big allergic reaction. Found in many parts of the world, their venom can cause a range of symptoms, from mild skin irritation to life-threatening anaphylaxis that puts the body in a state of shock. The blood test for fire ant allergy can identify whether you are allergic to this venom and help you take preventive measures against an allergy attack.
