Canary Bird Feathers (e201) IgE details
What Canary Bird Feathers (e201) IgE shows
Canaries are popular pet birds, and their feathers, droppings and dander carry proteins that can be inhaled in the home. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to canary feather allergens to check for allergic sensitization. Exposure happens mainly indoors, wherever the birds are kept, and can occur all year round. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as sneezing, a blocked nose, itchy eyes, cough or asthma around birds. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and exposure, and it is often interpreted alongside other bird and indoor allergens.
