Sunflower Seed (k84) IgE details
What Sunflower Seed (k84) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies specific to sunflower seed proteins. You can be exposed by eating the seeds, sunflower seed butter or foods containing them, and also by handling or breathing dust from seed, for example when feeding birds or working with seed. Testing can help look into symptoms such as mouth itching, hives, swelling or breathing trouble after contact. A positive result shows sensitization, meaning your body has made IgE to sunflower seed, not necessarily a clinical allergy. It is separate from sensitization to sunflower pollen, and results are interpreted against your symptoms and history.
