How to Prepare for Your Test

Follow these guidelines for accurate results

Sample Timing

Where possible, attend your blood test between 7am and 12pm. Please wait until any short-term illness or infection has fully resolved before testing. Avoid intense exercise for 24–48 hours beforehand, as this can affect certain markers.

Fasting & Hydration

Fasting is not always required, but some tests may recommend it. If fasting is advised, avoid food for 8–12 hours before your appointment and drink water only. Stay well hydrated, as this helps with sample collection and accuracy.

Medications & Supplements

Continue prescribed medications unless advised otherwise by your clinician. Avoid vitamin, mineral, or biotin supplements for at least 24–48 hours before your test, as these can interfere with results. If you are unsure about any medication or supplement, please let us know before your appointment.

Hormones & Menstrual Cycle

For hormone-related tests, timing within your menstrual cycle may be important. If relevant, follow any specific guidance provided on your test page.

If you have any questions or special circumstances, our team is happy to advise before your appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

The test measures IgG antibodies against Ascaris lumbricoides, helping to identify active or recent roundworm infection.

Ascariasis is contracted by ingesting microscopic Ascaris eggs found in contaminated food, water, or soil. The larvae then migrate through the lungs and mature in the intestines.

Antibodies typically appear 1–3 weeks after exposure. Testing too early may yield a negative result even if infection exists.

No, fasting is not required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.

Yes, antibody levels can remain detectable for 6–12 months after successful treatment. This doesn’t mean the infection is still active.

Yes. The test is safe for children, although venous blood collection may be replaced with a finger-prick method depending on age.

It may indicate a past infection or mild case that has already resolved. However, your GP may still recommend a stool test to ensure no worms remain.

Untreated ascariasis can cause intestinal blockage, malnutrition, lung inflammation, or, rarely, migration to the liver or pancreas. Early detection prevents these complications.

No, it is specific to Ascaris lumbricoides. If your symptoms persist, your GP may suggest broader parasite panels (e.g., for hookworm, strongyloides, or toxocara).

No, it’s optional. You’ll receive your results with clear interpretation notes. However, booking a GP review is recommended if your test is positive or symptoms continue.
