Order Mouse Allergy Test | Allergic to MiceA mouse allergy test measures the immune system's response to proteins found in mouse tissue.

About Mouse Allergy Test | Allergic to Mice in Ames
Mouse Epithelium (tissue) is a common source of indoor allergens, and exposure can occur through contact with mice or their shed materials.
Mouse allergen is carried on small particles that can become airborne, particularly in spaces where mice live or have lived. These particles may settle on surfaces and be disturbed during cleaning, allowing them to be inhaled.
An IgE antibody test uses a blood sample to assess sensitization to Mouse Epithelium. A positive result indicates that the immune system has produced antibodies against mouse proteins, though it does not by itself confirm that symptoms are caused by that exposure.
Results are interpreted alongside a person's history and environment. Reducing exposure and discussing findings with a healthcare provider can help clarify whether mouse allergen plays a role in ongoing symptoms.
