What this test is

This is a blood test that measures specific antibodies your immune system may produce in response to ferret epithelium. It is typically used alongside your symptom history to assess whether ferret exposure is contributing to allergic reactions.

What it measures

  • Ferret epithelium-specific IgE — Reflects immune sensitivity to proteins in ferret skin and hair

What the test involves
