Wall Pellitory (w19) IgE details
What Wall Pellitory (w19) IgE shows
Wall pellitory (Parietaria officinalis) is a weed in the nettle family that grows on old walls, rocky ground and waste areas, and it is a major pollen allergen in Mediterranean regions. It can release pollen over a long season, from spring well into autumn. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to its pollen to check for allergic sensitization. It can help explain sneezing, itchy eyes, a runny nose or asthma lasting much of the year. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, and needs to be matched against your symptoms. It cross-reacts strongly with the related species Parietaria judaica.
