IgE Allergy, Animal Panel 71, feathers (goose, chicken, duck, turkey) tests allergic reactions to feather particles. Prolonged exposure leads to a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction presenting with respiratory symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, or coughing, cutaneous reactions such as skin rash; hives; and ocular symptoms such as itchy and watery eyes. Healthcare professionals use this test to guide allergen-specific immunotherapy.
