Quick answer
The Region 6 Allergies panel is a regional IgE blood test covering 23 allergens common across the western South. It evaluates sensitization to the tree, grass, and weed pollens, molds, and indoor allergens that occur in this warm, humid part of the country. The panel is used when symptoms suggest allergy but the specific triggers need clarification.
What this test measures
The western South has a humid subtropical climate with a broad allergen mix. Pecan, oak, and pine trees pollinate in spring, warm-season grasses such as Bermuda and Bahia release pollen through summer, and ragweed and other weeds extend the season into autumn. Humidity and abundant vegetation keep mold spores in the air for much of the year, and dust mite is a common indoor allergen.
This panel measures allergen-specific IgE for 23 regionally selected allergens from one blood sample. Targets may include southern tree pollens, warm-season grass pollens, weed pollens, mold spores, dust mite, and animal dander. Each allergen is reported with a quantitative antibody level and a graded class.
Residents of the western South who notice seasonal or year-round nasal, eye, or airway symptoms may find this panel useful. It can also help when symptoms worsen in humid weather or indoors. A qualified healthcare provider interprets the results with the person's environment and symptom history.
- Tree pollen IgE (pecan, oak, pine, and related species as included)
- Warm-season grass pollen IgE (Bermuda, Bahia, and related grasses as included)
- Weed pollen IgE (ragweed and related weeds as included)
- Mold spore IgE (Alternaria, Cladosporium, and related molds as included)
- Dust mite IgE when included
- Cat and dog dander IgE when included
- Allergen-specific IgE class for each of the 23 panel allergens
Why people order this test
- Investigate spring tree pollen symptoms in a humid southern climate
- Screen warm-season grass and autumn weed pollens together
- Assess mold and dust mite sensitization in humid conditions
- Evaluate symptoms that persist beyond the pollen season
- Identify regional allergens to review with a clinician
How to prepare
No fasting is required, and the test can be performed at any time of year. Follow the lab's standard instructions for blood collection.
Understanding your results
Results typically return within one to three business days. The report presents each allergen separately, which helps distinguish pollen-driven symptoms from indoor contributors. Positive results indicate sensitization, and a qualified healthcare provider interprets them with the person's history.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which trees are most common in this region's pollen mix?
Pecan, oak, and pine are widespread, and regional panels typically include their pollens along with other locally common trees.
Can mold allergy be a year-round issue here?
In humid climates, mold spores can be present much of the year, both outdoors and in buildings, so panels commonly include mold allergens.
Do I need to avoid anything before the test?
No special preparation is needed for this blood test.
Should I also test for food allergies?
That depends on symptoms. This panel covers airborne and indoor allergens; a clinician can order food testing separately if indicated.
What happens if everything is negative?
A negative panel does not rule out all causes of symptoms. A clinician can consider other explanations and further evaluation.
