Goat Epithelia (e80) IgE details
What Goat Epithelia (e80) IgE shows
Goats shed dander, hair and skin proteins that can trigger allergies in people who keep them, farm them or handle them at petting zoos or at work. Goat hair is also used in some textiles and rugs. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to goat epithelia to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain sneezing, itchy eyes, skin reactions or asthma symptoms that occur around these animals or in places where they are kept. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and exposure, and it may be evaluated alongside other animal allergen tests.
