Order Horse Dander Allergy Test | IgE TestingThe Horse Dander Allergy Test measures specific IgE antibodies in the blood to horse dander, the shed skin cells, hair, and other particles from horses. An immune response to these proteins can produce allergy symptoms, and this test helps identify whether such a response is present.
About Horse Dander Allergy Test | IgE Testing in Oakland
Horse dander allergy is an immune reaction to proteins found in the skin flakes, hair, and saliva of horses.
When a person sensitive to horse dander is exposed, the immune system may produce IgE antibodies directed at those proteins. These antibodies bind to mast cells and, on later exposure, trigger the release of histamine and other mediators that cause symptoms.
Common symptoms of horse dander allergy include sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, coughing, and wheezing. In some people, close contact with horses can also provoke skin reactions such as hives or eczema.
This test uses a blood sample to measure the level of horse dander-specific IgE. Results are reported as a numeric value that indicates whether sensitization is present. A positive result does not by itself diagnose an allergy; it should be interpreted alongside a person's medical history and symptoms.
