Indoor Allergen Analysis™ (IAA) & Good Health and Well-being

Will Legend is currently the only company in Hong Kong that provides “Indoor Allergen Analysis™ (IAA)” solution to find out the root cause of allergic reactions, and then through maintaining a good environmental hygiene to achieve good health. We collect samples of dust or air from your home or workplace and send them to laboratories in the US or Canada to identify and recognize common environmental allergens among Hong Kong allergy sufferers. These include the most common dust mite, followed by cockroaches (which account for 45% of allergies). The IAA uses Luminex XMAP® system to detect 14 common indoor environmental allergens, such as dust mites (Der p 1, Der f 1, and Mite Group 2), cats (Fel d 1), dogs (Can f 1), mice (Mus m 1), rats (Rat n 1), cockroaches (Bla g 2), Alternaria (mold (fungus) Alt a 1), birch trees (Bet v 1), and Timothy grass (Phl p 5) pollen from the source.

Locate Environmental Allergens To Relieve Allergies

After locating environmental allergens by The IAA solution, we provide customized natural remedies for people who have allergic reaction, mold illness and allergy sufferers. By using our solutions and products, the accumulation of indoor allergens can be reduced and avoided, this will also relieve eczema, asthma, nasal allergies, allergic rhinitis, and mycoses (illnesses caused by mold) . The IAA Solution is fit for addressing indoor allergens in homes, dormitories, hotel rooms, workplaces, and cars etc.

We partner with laboratory facilities to provide our clients with professional indoor allergen analysis, and identification solutions. We work with Mold & Bacteria Consulting Laboratories (MBL) on identifications of mould and bacteria. MBL is accredited by the Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation (CALA) to the internationally recognized ISO 17025. Will Legend is also the authorized partner of Indoor Biotechnologies (Inbio). Inbio is ISO 17025 compliant, and provide a comprehensive range of indoor environmental allergen testing solutions, and products.

Allergy Symptoms Require Indoor Allergen Analysis™ (IAA) Solutions

Overreaction (allergy symptoms) can lead to a runny nose, sneezing, blocked sinuses, itchy, and watery eyes etc. If you’ve found allergies in kids, or any family members, you may need allergy tests like skin tests, blood tests, or elimination diet.

At the same time, you need to figure out which of the environmental allergens around you too. The sooner these environmental allergens are identified, the sooner they can be treated, or removed, and, minimizing the allergic reactions, and improving the health. Will Legend helps to restore you to an optimal balance of health and vitality.

Allergy Testing Complementary To Indoor Allergen Analysis™ (IAA)

After skin tests, blood tests and once doctor has determined which environmental allergens are causing the allergic symptoms, we can then work together to come up with a complete solution for avoiding, or minimizing environmental allergens around you.

On the other hand, if you worry about allergy tests may result in mild itching, redness, swelling of the skin or, on rare occasions, an immediate, severe allergic reaction that requires medical attention, you can choose to eliminate the environmental allergens first.

Mould Allergy (Mold Allergy) & Mould Illness (Mold Illness)

Mould (Mold) is one of the most commonly missed environmental allergens, or understated toxins (called mycotoxins) in homes or workplaces, and the fact is mould (mold) identification is challenging. For people who are allergic to mould (mold), they are affected by mould (mold) illness in multiple different ways for examples, tearing, redness of the eyes, chronic cough that mimics asthma etc.

Will Legend believes that mold allergy tests, functional medicine should be combined with a proper environmental allergen analysis as well as green-deep cleaning options. Of course, a healthy lifestyle like eating healthy, exercise more, sleep well, and maintain a positive spirit is also essential. In every case, the very first thing you need to do is to stay away yourselves from mold exposure. It could help you to get rid of mold illness like mold allergy, mold toxicity, mold colonization, and mold infection.

Green-deep Cleaning Reliefs Allergic Reactions (Allergy Symptoms)

At indoors, the most common ways that trigger allergic reaction (diseases) are by breathing and touching. Allergy symptoms can include like skin rashes, trouble breathing, coughing, sneezing/runny nose (or congestion), itchy eyes, and upset stomach etc.

To relief allergic reactions (or allergy symptoms), mold illness and mold allergy, Will Legend highly recommends to adopt the Green-deep Cleaning Solution after locating the environmental allergens like VOC gases, dust mites, bacteria, moulds (molds), and viruses etc. These environmental allergens may cause allergic reactions (hypersensitivity reactions) from mild skin issues to severe health issues including asthma, bronchitis, and eczema when they land on the skin or in the eye or are inhaled and eaten.

Will Legend Indoor Allergen Analysis™ (IAA) Solutions

Will Legend adopts MARIA® Environmental Allergen Analysis. MARIA® Environmental Allergen Analysis is a multiplex array developed on the Luminex XMAP® system that can provide quantitative, accurate, and precise measurements of multiple indoor environmental allergens in a single test.

MARIA® Environmental Allergen Analysis Solutions can detect specific environmental allergens from 14 common environmental allergens of dust mite (Der p 1, Der f 1 and Mite Group 2), cat (Fel d 1), dog (Can f 1), mouse (Mus m 1), rat (Rat n 1), cockroach (Bla g 2), Alternaria (Alt a 1) and the pollen allergens of birch (Bet v 1) and timothy grass (Phl p 5).

Solution Flow

Will Legend goes to the home, and the workplace to collect dust or air samples, and analyse whether the environmental allergens are dust mites, animals (rats, cats & dogs), cockroaches, pollen, moulds, or bacteria etc.

A written Indoor Environmental Allergen Analysis Report (Environmental Allergen Analysis Results) will be sent to you after samples are analyzed by the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited Environmental Testing Laboratory. Once environmental allergens are located, not only a range of green-deep cleaning solutions will be recommended, but also allergy relief products. This is because Will Legend works things out as a whole over a single symptom.

  • Improve air flow and ventilation in homes, and the workplaces – leave interior doors open, run exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens
  • Avoid conventional cleaners (bleach, ammonia etc.) which may contain toxic chemicals and VOC
  • Use certified green or natural cleaners
  • Schedule regular green-deep cleaning solutions to remove dirt, stains, envrionmental allergens like dust mites, animal dander, pollens, and moulds (molds) etc.
  • Use dehumidifiers to keep humidity level below 50%
  • Keep windows closed when outdoor pollution is high, or during peak pollen times
  • Avoid conventional scents like fragrance or candles which may contain toxic chemicals and VOC
  • Use air cleaners (air purifiers) to reduce indoor envrionmental allergen
