What this test is

This test measures the level of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in your blood that are specific to dill. IgE antibodies are part of the immune system and can be produced in response to substances that trigger allergies. The test helps evaluate whether dill may be contributing to your symptoms.

What it measures

  • Dill-specific IgE antibodies — Reflects the immune system's sensitivity to dill proteins
  • Total IgE (sometimes included) — Provides a general measure of allergic tendency, though not specific to dill

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small sample of blood, usually from a vein in your arm, using a standard blood draw. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test if you have experienced symptoms such as hives, itching, swelling, or digestive upset after eating dill or foods that contain it. It is often used along with your medical history and other tests to help identify possible food allergies.
