What Turkey Feathers (e89) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies specific to proteins found on turkey feathers and the dust and dander that come with them. Exposure is mostly occupational, such as on poultry farms or in processing plants, but it can also come from keeping birds. Testing can help explain nasal, eye or breathing symptoms that happen around turkeys or feather dust. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, and is read against your exposure and symptoms. Bird feather proteins can cross-react between species, so it is often interpreted alongside other feather tests.
