Why speed matters for allergy season

Get answers fast when symptoms spike. Wyndly’s CLIA‑certified at‑home blood‑spot test identifies your environmental allergy triggers and delivers results often within about 2 business days after the lab receives your sample, with physician review shortly thereafter. This enables same‑week care decisions as tree, grass, or ragweed seasons ramp up. At‑home test • Turnaround detail • Existing test review timelines.

How it works (end‑to‑end)

Request kit: We ship your finger‑prick, dry‑blood‑spot kit to your door (typical outbound shipping 2–4 days). Tracking and timelines
Collect at home: 5–10 minutes; no medication hold required for IgE testing. Test overview
Lab and results: Results often arrive ~2 business days after lab receipt; plan for up to 6 business days in peak periods. 2‑day results examples • Lab processing range
Doctor review and next steps: A US board‑certified physician reviews results (typically within 2 business days) and discusses your plan, including avoidance, meds, or sublingual immunotherapy for long‑term relief. Doctor‑led model • SLIT evidence

Turnaround times you can plan around

Lab reporting: Often ~2 business days after receipt; allow up to 6 business days during surges. Examples • Processing range
Physician review: Often within 2 business days of result availability. Existing test review SLA
Therapy fulfillment (if treating): Custom SLIT typically prepared in ~6 business days, then 2‑day shipping. Pharmacy timeline

When to test (seasonal use cases)

Seasonal timing varies by region; testing proactively or at symptom onset helps distinguish pollen vs indoor triggers and guides timing for treatment.

Season (US)	Dominant outdoor allergens	Typical peaks	Why test now
Spring	Tree pollens (oak, birch, maple, cedar, ash)	Feb–May (region‑dependent)	Confirm tree sensitivities before or at first symptoms to time preventive therapy. Season basics
Summer	Grasses (Timothy, Bermuda, rye, Johnson, fescue)	May–July	Separate grass vs mold vs pet exposure; adjust outdoor plans and meds. Grass overview
Fall	Weeds (ragweed, sagebrush, pigweed, mugwort)	Aug–Oct (peak Sept)	Verify ragweed; plan travel/activity and start SLIT early for next season. Ragweed facts
Winter	Indoors (dust mites, pet dander, molds)	Year‑round; more time indoors	Rule in perennial indoor drivers when pollen is low. Indoor allergens

Note: Climate trends are lengthening and intensifying pollen seasons, increasing exposure burden. CDC on pollen and climate.

After results: evidence‑based next steps

Short‑term: Exposure reduction, second‑generation antihistamines, and intranasal corticosteroids for symptom control. Medication basics
Long‑term: Sublingual immunotherapy (drops/tablets) retrains your immune system; improvement is often seen in 4–24 weeks, with durable benefit after a multi‑year course. SLIT clinical overview • Cochrane/AAO‑HNS references

Coverage, pricing, and access

Test: The at‑home test can often be billed through insurance; self‑pay option available. Insurance info
Care: Ongoing treatment is typically $99/month (HSA/FSA eligible) with unlimited doctor support; no per‑allergen charges. Treatment subscription
Physician‑led, 24/7 access for questions during care. About care model

Who benefits most from fast seasonal testing

New or worsening symptoms at season start; unclear if cold vs allergy
Moving to a new region or planning travel during peak pollen months
Athletes/outdoor workers needing data‑driven activity planning
Parents of children (5+) with recurrent seasonal symptoms
Patients with allergic asthma seeking trigger identification

Key facts and population burden

In 2021, 25.7% of US adults reported seasonal allergies; overall, 31.8% reported any allergy—underscoring the value of timely testing and care. CDC FastStats

Important notes

Ages 5+; environmental (not food) allergies; US only. Certain conditions (e.g., EoE, MCAS, pregnancy, beta‑blocker use) may limit eligibility for SLIT. Eligibility details
For emergency reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis), call 911; this program does not manage food allergy emergencies. Anaphylaxis education
