Cotton, Crude Fibers (o1) IgE details
What Cotton, Crude Fibers (o1) IgE shows
Crude cotton fibers are the raw, unprocessed fibers of the cotton plant, used before spinning and in some padding, stuffing and mattress materials. Exposure is mostly occupational, for example in cotton processing or textile work. This test measures IgE antibodies to raw cotton fibers to check for sensitization. A positive result can help explain respiratory or skin symptoms on contact. Finished cotton fabrics are generally considered low in allergen, and dust or mould on cotton can also cause symptoms. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
