The results revealed a significant difference between the two results and the Canadian extracts were better than the Saudi extracts. Conclusion: From the over mentioned results could concluded that the Saudi allergens able to be applied and gave the valuable results if compared with the imported Canadian allergens which isvery expensive using skin prick test. Also the Saudi allergens need more studies to standardize to give promising economic impact results.
