Almond
Almond allergy is an allergic reaction to almonds, a type of tree nut. It is one of the more common tree nut allergies and can range from mild to severe, including potentially life-threatening reactions. Like other food allergies, an almond allergy is an immune system response to the proteins found in almonds....

Individuals with almond allergies may also react to other tree nuts or foods, such as:

- Read food labels carefully to check for almond ingredients.
- Be cautious when eating out and communicate your allergy to the food service staff.
- Carry an epinephrine auto-injector (like an EpiPen) if you have a history of severe reactions.
- Consider wearing a medical alert bracelet.
- Work with an allergist for personalized advice and potential allergy testing.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
