Quick answer
The Acacia (Mimosa) Allergy Test checks a blood sample for IgE antibodies against pollen from acacia and mimosa trees. These flowering trees are common in warm climates and release pollen seasonally. People who are sensitized may notice sneezing, nasal congestion, or itchy eyes during the flowering period. The test helps show whether the immune system has been sensitized to their pollen.
What this test measures
Acacia and mimosa belong to the legume family, a large group that also includes mesquite and other flowering trees. The names are sometimes used interchangeably in landscaping, and the two trees share related proteins. Because of this, a person sensitized to one pollen may also react to the other, and testing both in one order gives a clearer picture.
The test uses a standard blood draw and reports IgE concentrations with a graded class for each tree. The antibody level does not always match symptom severity, so results are reviewed together with the season, local plant exposure, and other allergen findings. Some orders combine acacia and mimosa with related pollens or a broader allergy panel.
People may order this test when seasonal symptoms are persistent, when they want to identify which trees are involved, or as part of a larger allergy workup. A qualified healthcare provider interprets the result with the person's history and other findings to guide a management plan.
- Acacia pollen-specific IgE antibodies
- Mimosa pollen-specific IgE antibodies
- Quantitative sIgE concentration reported in kilounits per liter
- Graded allergen-specific IgE class for each tree
- Total serum IgE when included
- Mesquite or other legume tree pollens when a panel is included
Why people order this test
- Identify whether acacia or mimosa pollen is linked to seasonal symptoms
- Check both related trees in a single blood draw
- Separate these pollens from other tree and grass triggers
- Add acacia and mimosa to a broader allergy assessment
- Support planning during the local flowering season
How to prepare
No fasting is required for this blood test. Follow the collection instructions provided by the laboratory, and tell the testing provider about any medications you take, because some can affect allergy test interpretation.
Understanding your results
Results are typically available within one to three business days. A detectable level of tree-specific IgE indicates sensitization, which may or may not match symptom severity. A qualified healthcare provider explains how the result fits with your symptoms and season.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are acacia and mimosa the same tree?
They are closely related plants in the legume family, and the names are sometimes used loosely. Testing both pollens can clarify which one matters for you.
When do these trees release pollen?
Flowering and pollen release vary with species and climate. Symptoms that follow the local pollen calendar can help with interpretation.
Can I be sensitized to acacia but not mimosa?
Yes. Although the trees are related, a person may react to one more than the other. Testing each separately shows the pattern.
Does the result show how severe my allergy is?
No. The antibody level is one piece of information and does not reliably predict symptom severity. Your clinical history matters most.
Can I have symptoms during the season with a negative test?
Yes. Allergy tests do not capture every trigger. A qualified healthcare provider can review your history and decide whether more testing is useful.
