Rape Weed (w203) IgE details
What Rape Weed (w203) IgE shows
Oilseed rape is a bright yellow flowering crop of the mustard family, grown for its oil-rich seeds. It flowers in spring, when its pollen and plant particles can reach people living or working near the fields. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to rape pollen in your blood to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain seasonal symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose or itchy eyes during the flowering season, though rape pollen is considered a less common cause of hay fever than grass pollen. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read against your symptoms.
