Bayberry (Myrica cerifera) IgE details
What Bayberry (Myrica cerifera) IgE shows
Bayberry (Myrica cerifera), also called wax myrtle, is an evergreen shrub or small tree common in the coastal southeastern United States, and it releases pollen in spring. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to bayberry pollen in your blood. It is used to check whether bayberry pollen may be behind seasonal symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose or itchy eyes. A positive result can help explain symptoms during its pollen season and is usually evaluated as part of a regional tree pollen panel. A positive result shows sensitization rather than proof of allergy, so it needs to be read against when and where your symptoms occur.
