Olive Tree (t9) IgE details
What Olive Tree (t9) IgE shows
Olive trees are grown in warm, dry climates, including parts of California and the southwestern United States, and are a major pollen source where they are common. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to olive tree 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 that flare during its late spring pollen season. Olive pollen cross-reacts with related trees such as ash and privet. 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.
