An allergic reaction occurs when the immune system produces chemicals called histamines to fight off allergens. Many common substances can be triggers, including pollen, food, mold, dust, feathers, animal dander, chemicals, drugs, and environmental pollutants.
Our allergy tests are conducted by Diana Pettis. R.N. Diana Pettis is a trained allergy specialist and registered nurse at UCLA where she works in the neuro-intensive care unit.
