Melaleuca (t21) IgE details
What Melaleuca (t21) IgE shows
Melaleuca is a group of trees whose pollen can cause allergies. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to melaleuca pollen to check for allergic sensitization to this tree. A positive result can help explain sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes or asthma symptoms. This is separate from reactions to tea tree oil applied to the skin. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read against when and where your symptoms occur, usually as part of a regional allergen panel.
