Storage Mite (d71) IgE details
What Storage Mite (d71) IgE shows
Storage mites are tiny mites that live in stored grain, flour, hay and animal feed, and also in damp houses. The d71 allergen is Lepidoglyphus destructor, and this test measures IgE antibodies specific to it. It can help explain year-round nasal, eye or breathing symptoms, particularly in people who work with farm products or stored foods. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, and is read against your symptoms and exposure. Storage mites can partly cross-react with house dust mites, so results are usually interpreted alongside dust mite tests.
