About the Storage Mite Allergy Test - Furniture Mite
The Storage Mite Allergy Test measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against Glycyphagus domesticus, also known as the storage or furniture mite. These mites are found in stored foods, dust, and upholstered furniture, and their particles can become airborne, contributing to allergy symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose, and itchy eyes. This blood test helps determine whether your symptoms may be linked to storage mite exposure. Results are interpreted with your environment and symptom pattern.
Who this test may be right for
- People with year-round sneezing, a runny nose, or itchy eyes that worsen indoors.
- Individuals whose provider suspects a mite-related allergy beyond dust mites.
- People exposed to stored foods, grain, or old upholstered furniture.
- Anyone with a known mite allergy who wants to confirm a specific species.
- Those being evaluated for allergic symptoms that appear in certain rooms or storage areas.
What this test measures
- Glycyphagus domesticus-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to the storage mite Glycyphagus domesticus.
Before your visit
- No fasting is required.
- Continue your usual medications unless a healthcare provider advises otherwise.
- Pause antihistamines before testing only if your provider instructs you to, as they may affect some allergy results.
- Note when and where your symptoms occur, especially near stored food or upholstered furniture.
Understanding your results
The report shows the level of Glycyphagus domesticus-specific IgE antibodies. A higher level may suggest sensitisation to this storage mite, while a low or undetectable level makes allergy less likely. Sensitisation does not always cause symptoms, and people may be exposed to several types of mites at once. Your healthcare provider will interpret the result with your environment and history. Discuss any positive or unexpected result with a healthcare provider before making changes at home.
