Lenscale
Lenscale refers to microscopic particles of shed skin, hair, or feathers from animals, primarily pets such as cats and dogs. These particles can become airborne, settle on furniture, bedding, or carpets, and trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Unlike larger fur clumps, lenscale is extremely light and often invisible to the eye, which makes it a persistent allergen indoors even in clean environments. Allergic reactions to lenscale are caused by specific proteins found in the skin secretions or saliva of animals, which adhere to these fine particles. Even without direct animal contact, individuals can experience symptoms if exposed to contaminated environments.
Description
Lenscale is made up of tiny skin flakes, hair fragments, or feather dust that contain allergenic proteins, particularly from pets like cats and dogs.
It can trigger respiratory symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, coughing, or even asthma in sensitive individuals.
Yes, it's possible. Lenscale refers to microscopic skin flakes, hair, or feathers that carry specific allergenic proteins. If a test doesn't include the exact allergen you're sensitive to—such as Can f 5 from dogs or Fel d 4 from cats—you might still experience symptoms despite receiving a negative result. In such cases, more detailed component testing may be necessary.

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.
