Duck Feathers (e86) IgE details
What Duck Feathers (e86) IgE shows
Duck feathers and down are used in pillows, duvets and jackets, and people can also be exposed when keeping or working with ducks. This test measures IgE antibodies to duck feather proteins to check for sensitization. A positive result can help explain nasal, eye or chest symptoms linked to feather bedding or birds, although feather products can also harbour dust mites, which are a more common cause of bedding-related symptoms. Sensitization to different bird species can overlap. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
