Hazel Nut Tree (t4) IgE details
What Hazel Nut Tree (t4) IgE shows
Hazel trees and shrubs (Corylus) are among the earliest plants to release pollen, typically from late winter into early spring. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to hazel pollen to check for allergic sensitization to this tree, which is distinct from an allergy to eating hazelnuts. A positive result can help explain sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes or asthma during the early tree pollen season. Hazel pollen shares proteins with birch and alder, so sensitization to these trees often overlaps. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and timing, and is usually evaluated as part of a regional tree allergen panel.
