Firebush (w17) IgE details
What Firebush (w17) IgE shows
Firebush, also called Kochia or burning bush (Kochia scoparia), is a weed common across the western and central United States, especially in dry, disturbed ground. It releases pollen mainly from mid-summer into fall. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to firebush pollen to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes or asthma symptoms during the weed pollen season. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read against your symptoms and local exposure, and it is typically evaluated as part of a regional weed allergen panel.
