Sunflower (w204) IgE details
What Sunflower (w204) IgE shows
Sunflower is a tall flowering plant that releases pollen in summer and early autumn, and this test measures IgE antibodies specific to sunflower pollen. Because sunflower is pollinated mostly by insects, exposure is highest close to fields, gardens or cut flowers rather than spread widely through the air. Testing can help explain sneezing, itchy eyes or breathing symptoms near sunflowers. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, and needs to be compared with your symptoms. Sunflower pollen can cross-react with other weeds in the daisy family, such as mugwort, so it is read alongside related results.
