Huntsville Hospital Urgent Care, Bailey Cove - 7216 Bailey Cove Rd SE
Couldn’t sleep due pains in my feet and extremely annoying itching to my feet and ankles. After nurse practitioner looked me over, prescribed meds - which were ready at the pharmacy when I left Urgent Care - once I started to take meds as prescribed I feel so much better. Pains gone and itching has lessened. Thank you to Huntsville Hospital Urgent Care staff.  Highly recommend them!

Urgent Care for Children, Huntsville - 2785 Carl T Jones Dr SE
We waited 1.5 hours just to be seen.   We arrived on time for our appointment that we had booked online. We were told that booking online ahead would put you in front of walk in’s.  We weren’t very happy with the long wait. The whole thing took a total of two hours. I feel like it shouldn’t allow multiple people to book for the same time frame. We definitely weren’tput ahead of anyone. The whole waiting room was seen before us except for the person that came in after us. I went up to the desk twice to check on the situation and even though she said we should be seen after 3 people went back (scheduled appts) we were not, so this proves that walk ins are seen in the order they come in and appointments made online do not trump walk ins. We were, however, satisfied with the physicist we saw , and the quality of the care given at the visit, so in the end that matters most to me!  I hope they can fix this system though and or stick to the policy that they tell you is in place that online appts are seen before Walk ins.

I came in one day without an appoint and waited two hours as a walk-in before I had to leave without being tested. I made an appointment through Quest Lab Testing for the next day, showed up on time, got tested easily and was on my way in 15-20 minutes. Staff is friendly and helpful.

About Venom Testing

Venom Testing is a specialized diagnostic test designed to identify allergic reactions to venom from insect stings and bites. This test is essential for individuals who have experienced severe or life-threatening reactions to insect venom in the past, such as anaphylaxis. Venom Testing helps identify the specific insect venom responsible for the allergic reaction, enabling healthcare providers to develop personalized allergy management plans and prescribe life-saving treatments.

Who Should Get Tested

If you reside in Albertville, Alabama, and have a history of severe allergic reactions to insect stings or bites, Venom Testing is recommended. Additionally, individuals with a family history of insect venom allergies or those frequently exposed to insect-prone environments may also benefit from this testing to assess their risk of potential allergic reactions.

Tests Included in Venom Testing

Venom Testing typically involves:

  • Skin Prick Test: A small amount of insect venom is applied to the skin, and the skin is pricked to observe the body's reaction.
  • Intradermal Test: A small amount of diluted insect venom is injected under the skin to assess allergic response.
  • Blood Test (Specific IgE Test): Measures the levels of venom-specific antibodies in the blood.

Interpreting the Results

The interpretation of Venom Testing results involves assessing the skin's reaction to the venom and measuring the levels of venom-specific antibodies in the blood. Positive results indicate an allergic reaction to the specific insect venom tested.

Importance of Venom Testing

Venom Testing is important for:

  • Identifying specific insect venoms that trigger allergic reactions
  • Creating personalized allergy management plans
  • Prescribing life-saving treatments, such as epinephrine auto-injectors (EpiPens)
  • Informing individuals about potential risks and preventive measures

Following the Test

After Venom Testing, healthcare providers discuss the results with individuals and provide guidance on managing insect venom allergies. Those with positive results may be prescribed epinephrine auto-injectors and educated on recognizing and responding to severe allergic reactions.

Venom Testing empowers individuals in Albertville, Alabama, with the knowledge and tools to manage their insect venom allergies effectively and reduce the risk of life-threatening reactions.
