What it measures
- Oregano-specific IgE antibodies — The main marker; IgE is an immune protein linked to allergy. A higher level suggests your body may recognize oregano as an allergen.
- Total IgE — Sometimes measured alongside specific IgE to give context about your overall allergic tendency.
- Related spice or pollen IgE — May be checked because reactions to oregano can overlap with other herbs, spices, or pollens.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is usually required. Tell your clinician about all medications, especially antihistamines, since some can affect allergy test results; do not stop any medicine unless your clinician tells you to.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a level of oregano-specific IgE, often with a reference range or class score. A clinician interprets the number together with your symptoms and history, because a positive result alone does not always mean you have a true allergy. This is general information, not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified clinician.
