Mugwort (w6) IgE details
What Mugwort (w6) IgE shows
Mugwort is a common weed of roadsides and waste ground in temperate regions. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to mugwort pollen to check for allergic sensitization to this weed. A positive result can help explain sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes or asthma symptoms that flare during its late summer and early fall pollen season. Mugwort sensitization can also be linked to reactions to some foods and spices, such as celery and mustard. 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.
