Goose Feathers (e70) IgE details
What Goose Feathers (e70) IgE shows
Goose feathers and down are used in pillows, duvets, jackets and other bedding, and are also encountered by people who keep or farm geese. Feathers can carry bird proteins and are also a common place for dust mites to collect. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to goose feathers to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain nasal, eye or asthma symptoms linked to feather bedding or bird exposure. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read against your symptoms and exposure, and since feather bedding often harbors dust mites, mite testing is often considered alongside it.
