Allergy testing at Belfast Children's Allergy Clinic covers the full range of food allergens (peanut, tree nuts, egg, cow's milk, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish and sesame) and environmental allergens (grass pollen, tree pollen, house dust mite, cat, dog and mould). Component testing — for example Ara h 2 for peanut allergy — is available to help predict the severity of reactions and guide management decisions.
