Introduction

Identify your exact pollen triggers at home, then go straight from results to a doctor‑led treatment plan. This CLIA‑certified, finger‑prick blood test measures allergen‑specific IgE for the pollens that drive seasonal symptoms (trees, grasses, weeds) and supports insurance billing. A Wyndly board‑certified physician reviews your results online and, if appropriate, starts sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) or FDA‑approved tablets for long‑term relief.

What’s tested: trees, grasses, and weeds

The panel focuses on indoor/outdoor environmental pollens and includes representative species common across the U.S. (full 40+ environmental panel available). Examples:

• Trees (seasonal spring peaks by region): oak, birch, maple/box elder, elm, cottonwood/poplar, mountain cedar/juniper, ash, walnut, pecan/hickory, olive, white ash, alder, sycamore.

• Grasses (late spring/summer peaks): Timothy, ryegrass, Bermuda, Johnson, Bahia, orchard, fescue, sweet vernal, redtop, Kentucky blue.

• Weeds (late summer/fall peaks): ragweed, mugwort, pigweed, Russian thistle, sheep sorrel, nettle, sagebrush/marsh elder.

Notes:

• Wyndly’s broader at‑home test also detects non‑pollen environmental allergens (dust mites, molds, pet dander, cockroach, mouse) to complete your profile.

• We do not test or treat food allergies.

How it works

1) Order and collect at home

• Receive a CLIA‑certified kit. Perform a simple finger prick and mail your card in the prepaid envelope. 2) Physician review and visit

• A board‑certified Wyndly doctor interprets your allergen‑specific IgE profile and meets with you online to correlate results with your history and geography. 3) Care plan

• If you’re a candidate, your doctor prescribes SLIT allergy drops or FDA‑approved tablets (where indicated), shipped to your door with 24/7 access to our team. 4) Timelines

• Lab processing typically completes within a few business days after the lab receives your sample; doctor review follows shortly thereafter. Most patients who begin SLIT notice improvement between 4 weeks and 6 months, with durable control expected after ~3 years of therapy.

Insurance and payment

• Test: Wyndly’s at‑home indoor/outdoor allergy test can be billed through your insurance.

• Treatment: Ongoing SLIT is HSA/FSA‑eligible with transparent, all‑inclusive pricing and a 90‑day money‑back Allergy‑Free Guarantee if you don’t improve after following your plan.

From test to treatment: SLIT eligibility and guardrails

• Who’s eligible: Adults and children ages 5+ with environmental allergies (pollen, dust mites, pets, molds).

• Who isn’t: We do not treat food allergies. We cannot treat patients who are pregnant, on beta blockers, or with certain conditions (e.g., eosinophilic esophagitis, mast cell activation syndrome).

• Evidence and oversight: Wyndly physicians use FDA‑approved sublingual tablets when appropriate and clinically validated dosing for SLIT drops, following major society guidance. Clinical reviews (e.g., Cochrane) support SLIT’s safety and effectiveness, with a favorable safety profile compared to shots.

Plan tablet start windows by state (use peak months)

Use the state‑specific peak months below to plan your start window with your Wyndly doctor for FDA‑approved pollen tablets (grass, ragweed). Your physician will align timing to label directions and your local season. Start ahead of the listed peak month(s) so tolerance is building as season arrives.

State	Tree peak	Grass peak	Weed peak
California	March–April	May	August–September
Oregon	March–April	June	September
North Carolina	April	May	September
Maryland	April	June	September
Ohio	April	June	September
Maine	April	June	September
Tennessee	April	June	September
Idaho	April	June	September
Wisconsin	April	May	Late August
New Jersey	April	June	September
Pennsylvania	April	June	September
South Carolina	April	June	September
Virginia	April	May–June	September
South Dakota	April–May	June	September

Frequently asked questions

• What exactly does this test measure?

• A lab measures allergen‑specific IgE for common U.S. pollens (trees, grasses, weeds). Your doctor pairs results with your history and local season to create an actionable plan.

• How fast are results and when can I start treatment?

• After the lab receives your sample, processing typically completes within a few business days. Your online physician review is scheduled promptly; many patients begin SLIT or tablets immediately after the consult.

• Do I need to stop my allergy medications before testing?

• Blood‑based specific‑IgE testing does not require you to stop standard antihistamines before collection. Your doctor will advise on any exceptions.

• Is this safe and effective for kids?

• Yes. Wyndly treats ages 5+ with SLIT under physician supervision. Pediatric SLIT is well‑studied and favored for its at‑home, needle‑free administration.

• I already have a recent allergy test. Can Wyndly use it?

• Yes. If your prior test (within ~5 years) is available, our physicians can review it and proceed directly to treatment if appropriate.

• Is SLIT as effective as shots?

• Major reviews and guidelines support SLIT as an effective, safer, and more convenient alternative to shots for environmental allergies; your physician will help choose the best modality.
