Why needle‑averse patients need a better test
If needles or in‑clinic procedures have kept you from getting answers, you don’t have to delay care. Wyndly offers an at‑home, finger‑prick blood test that measures allergen‑specific IgE (sIgE) and is reviewed by a board‑certified physician—no venous blood draw, no skin‑prick grid, no weekly injections. After results, you can choose needle‑free treatment with sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) drops or tablets at home. At‑home sIgE test • Allergy blood test basics • SLIT immunotherapy
What “no‑needle” means here
-
No venous blood draw: a small, at‑home finger‑prick sample for sIgE testing processed by a CLIA‑certified lab (40+ indoor/outdoor allergens). Details
-
No in‑office skin‑prick grid: avoid the multi‑site skin procedure and post‑test itching; choose lab‑based IgE instead. Skin test explained
-
No injection‑based therapy: continue care needle‑free with daily SLIT under the tongue at home. Allergy drops
Finger‑prick s
IgE vs. venous blood vs. skin‑prick testing The right test depends on your goals, medications, and access. Here’s a quick comparison to help you choose.
| Feature | At‑home finger‑prick sIgE (Wyndly) | Venous blood sIgE | Skin‑prick testing |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it measures | Allergen‑specific IgE antibodies | Allergen‑specific IgE antibodies | Immediate skin reactivity |
| Where it’s done | Home; mail‑in to CLIA lab | Phlebotomy site | Clinic |
| Needles | No venous needle; simple finger stick | Venous needle | Multiple superficial skin pricks |
| Meds considerations | Blood IgE is generally compatible with common antihistamines; Wyndly does not require stopping most meds for testing | Same as finger‑prick sIgE | Some meds may interfere per clinic protocol |
| Panel breadth | 40+ indoor/outdoor allergens | Broad; varies by lab | Varies by clinic |
| Physician review | Included via telehealth | Via ordering clinician | In‑clinic |
| Good fit for | Needle‑averse, remote, kids ≥5, busy schedules | Those already getting labs | Patients who want in‑office testing |
