Botrytis cinerea (m7) IgE details
What Botrytis cinerea (m7) IgE shows
Botrytis cinerea is a mould known as grey mould, which grows on soft fruit, vegetables, flowers and decaying plant material, both outdoors and in greenhouses and stored produce. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to its spores to check for allergic sensitization. Exposure is more likely in damp, humid conditions and in work around plants, fruit or vineyards. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as sneezing, a blocked nose, itchy eyes or asthma when you are around mouldy plants or produce. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and is often interpreted with other mould allergens.
