Horse Dander (e3) IgE details
What Horse Dander (e3) IgE shows
Horse dander is made of tiny flakes of skin, hair, and proteins shed by horses. Exposure happens around horses, in stables and riding areas, and occasionally through horse-hair products or on the clothing of people who handle horses. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to horse dander to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as sneezing, itchy eyes, hives, or wheezing that occur with this exposure. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read alongside your symptoms and how closely they track contact with horses.
