Quick answer

The Region 7 Allergies panel is a regional IgE blood test covering 24 allergens common across the upper Midwest. It evaluates sensitization to the tree, grass, and weed pollens, molds, and indoor allergens typical of the northern central states. The panel is used when seasonal or year-round symptoms suggest allergy but the triggers are not yet known.

What this test measures

The upper Midwest has sharply defined pollen seasons shaped by cold winters. Birch and other early trees pollinate soon after the thaw, oak and additional trees follow, grasses peak in early summer, and ragweed dominates late summer and autumn. Cold winters reduce outdoor mold exposure, but indoor allergens such as dust mite, pet dander, and indoor mold become more relevant when homes are closed up.

This panel measures allergen-specific IgE for 24 regionally relevant allergens from a single blood sample. Targets may include spring tree pollens, cool-season grass pollens, weed pollens, mold spores, dust mite, and animal dander. Each allergen is reported with its own quantitative level and graded class.

People in the upper Midwest who notice a clear seasonal pattern or year-round nasal, eye, or airway symptoms may order this panel. It can also help when symptoms begin indoors during winter. A qualified healthcare provider interprets the results with the person's environment and symptom calendar.

  • Tree pollen IgE (birch, oak, maple, and related species as included)
  • Grass pollen IgE (timothy, orchard, and related grasses as included)
  • Weed pollen IgE (ragweed, plantain, 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 24 panel allergens

Why people order this test

  • Investigate a short but intense spring tree pollen season
  • Screen summer grass and autumn ragweed sensitization together
  • Assess indoor allergen exposure during long winters indoors
  • Evaluate year-round symptoms despite a cold climate
  • Identify which allergens to discuss with a clinician

Frequently Asked Questions

When does allergy season start here?

Tree pollen often appears soon after the last frost, and the season progresses through grasses and then weeds, though timing shifts with weather.

Can winter symptoms still be allergy?

Yes. Indoor allergens such as dust mite, mold, and pet dander can cause symptoms when people spend more time indoors.

Is ragweed included in this panel?

Ragweed is a major late-season allergen in the upper Midwest, so it is commonly among the weeds tested.

Does the test require fasting or timing?

No. It is a blood test that can be drawn at any convenient time.

Can results change from one season to another?

Antibody levels can shift over time. Repeat testing may be requested by a clinician to see whether sensitization has changed.
