Order Russian Olive Tree Allergy Test | PollenRussian olive is a deciduous tree or large shrub that releases lightweight pollen into the air during its flowering season.

This blood test measures IgE antibodies specific to Russian olive pollen, helping to identify whether an immune response to this tree is present.
About Russian Olive Tree Allergy Test | Pollen in Altadena
Russian olive pollen allergy is one of many tree-pollen sensitivities that can be evaluated with a targeted IgE blood test.
Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia) is not a true olive but a member of the Elaeagnaceae family, known for its silvery foliage and small, fragrant flowers. Its pollen is wind-borne, which means it can travel well beyond the tree itself and reach people who do not live or work directly beside one.
A pollen allergy develops when the immune system identifies a normally harmless protein in pollen as a threat and produces IgE antibodies against it. Those antibodies bind to cells that release histamine and other mediators, producing symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy or watery eyes, and sometimes coughing or wheezing. Because different trees release pollen at different times, identifying the specific source can clarify which exposures matter most.
This test uses a blood sample to measure the concentration of IgE antibodies that recognize Russian olive pollen. Results are reported alongside a reference range and should be interpreted by a healthcare professional in the context of symptoms, exposure history, and other findings. A positive result indicates sensitization to the pollen; it does not by itself confirm that all symptoms are caused by this tree.
