Acarus Siro (d70) IgE details
What Acarus Siro (d70) IgE shows
Acarus siro, also known as the flour mite, is a tiny storage mite that lives in stored grain, flour, hay and other dried foods, especially in damp conditions. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to the storage mite Acarus siro in your blood. Exposure is common on farms and in food storage or damp homes, and the test helps check whether it may contribute to year-round nasal, skin or breathing symptoms. Storage mites can share some proteins with house dust mites, so a positive result may partly reflect cross-reactivity. A positive result shows sensitization, meaning your immune system has made IgE to this allergen, but not necessarily an allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
