What it measures
- Specific IgE to melaleuca pollen — Antibody linked to respiratory allergy symptoms.
- Specific IgE to melaleuca oil — Antibody linked to skin or contact reactions.
- Total IgE — General allergy antibody level, sometimes included for context.
- Serum tryptase — Enzyme measured when a severe reaction is being evaluated.
