Cotton Seed (k83) IgE details
What Cotton Seed (k83) IgE shows
Cottonseed is the seed of the cotton plant. Its meal and flour are used in animal feed, fertilizers and some processed foods, and refined cottonseed oil is a common cooking oil, though refining removes most of the protein. This test measures IgE antibodies to cottonseed proteins, which can matter for people exposed at work, such as farm, feed mill or fertilizer workers, and for people reacting to foods. A positive result can help explain respiratory or skin symptoms on exposure, or reactions after eating. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
