About Hickory, White in Chicago
Understanding what the white hickory test measures helps put the result in context.
White hickory (Carya alba, also classified as Carya tomentosa) is a hardwood tree native to parts of North America. Like other members of the walnut family, it produces lightweight pollen that is carried by the wind rather than by insects. Wind-borne pollen can travel considerable distances and is a frequent contributor to seasonal allergy symptoms.
The test detects IgE antibodies that bind specifically to white hickory pollen proteins. IgE is the class of antibody associated with immediate-type allergic reactions. A blood sample is analyzed for the presence and level of these antibodies, which can indicate sensitization to the tree.
Sensitization does not always mean that exposure will produce symptoms. Results are typically interpreted alongside a person's history and other findings. Pollen seasons for hickory generally occur in spring, and reactions may overlap with other trees that pollinate at the same time.
