Fir Tree

If you’ve noticed allergy symptoms after spending time in nature, especially in forests where fir trees are common, it may be time to consider testing for an allergy to this type of tree. At IntroLab in Belgrade, we offer a specialized test to help determine if you’re sensitive to fir trees and how to effectively manage your symptoms.

What is a fir tree?

Fir trees are conifers commonly found in forests and parks. While they are widely used in the timber industry and as ornamental plants, they can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

When is the test recommended?

This test is particularly helpful if you spend a lot of time outdoors or experience unexplained allergy symptoms such as:

• Sneezing
• Runny nose
• Itching
• Red, irritated eyes

Some individuals may also develop skin reactions like rashes or eczema. In rare cases, the allergy can lead to more severe respiratory issues, such as asthma or anaphylactic shock.

How is the sample collected?

A small amount of blood is required for this test, usually drawn from a vein in your forearm. The procedure is quick and causes minimal discomfort.
