IgE (Immunoglobulin E)
Immunoglobulin E is a type of antibody, which is produced by the body if exposed to an allergen. These proteins help the body fight bacteria and germs. The body produces these antibodies as a reaction to any harmless substance such as dust, or food. The symptoms of having an allergic reaction are varied and can be an irritation caused to the nose, throat or lungs or other signs. Allergic reactions could be mild or severe and in rare cases, they can also be life threatening.
If the test indicates a high level of IgE antibodies, it is most likely that you are allergic to the substance that has been tested for.

1. Runny Nose
