Sheep Wool
Sheep wool allergy refers to an allergic reaction often caused not by the wool fibers themselves, but by sensitivity to lanolin (wool grease) or other substances present in the wool. These allergens can trigger symptoms when wearing clothing made from sheep’s wool or coming into contact with wool-containing products.
Description
Testing for a sheep wool allergy is suggested if you experience skin irritation or other allergic symptoms when wearing wool clothing or using wool-containing products.
Itchy skin or rashes Redness or hives on contact areas Sneezing or runny nose if allergic to lanolin Watery eyes Asthma symptoms, in some cases
Reactions to sheep wool are often due to lanolin or other allergens present in the wool, not the wool fiber itself.
Managing a sheep wool allergy involves avoiding wool products, choosing hypoallergenic materials, and using skin creams or medications to treat any allergic skin reactions.

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.
