Oregano (f283) IgE details
What Oregano (f283) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies directed at proteins in oregano, a herb in the mint family used in Mediterranean and Mexican cooking. It is used to check for allergic sensitization when you have had symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling or stomach upset after eating foods seasoned with oregano. A positive result shows that your immune system has made IgE to oregano, and higher levels make a true allergy more likely. Oregano is related to other herbs such as thyme, mint and basil, so results to several herbs may be considered together. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
