About the Pig Allergy Test - Allergic To Swine/Pigs
The pig allergy test is a blood test that measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against swine epithelium, the tissue and skin cells shed by pigs. It helps determine whether exposure to pigs is contributing to allergy symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy or watery eyes, coughing, or skin irritation. Swine allergens can be carried in dander and may cling to clothing, equipment, and indoor surfaces. The test is typically ordered for farm workers, veterinary staff, and others who develop symptoms around pigs.
What this test measures
- Swine (pig) epithelium-specific IgE Detects IgE antibodies that bind to swine epithelium (tissue and skin cell) allergens in the blood.
Who this test may be right for
- Farmers, swine handlers, and veterinary staff with symptoms around pigs.
- People visiting or living near pig operations who develop respiratory or skin symptoms.
- Individuals with asthma that worsens around pigs or barn environments.
- Those being evaluated as part of a broader animal-dander allergy panel.
Before your visit
- No fasting is required.
- Tell the clinician about antihistamines and other allergy medications.
- Continue prescribed medications unless a healthcare provider advises otherwise.
- Wear a loose top or short sleeves for easy blood collection.
Understanding your results
A positive result suggests the immune system has produced IgE antibodies to swine epithelium, which may indicate a sensitivity contributing to sneezing, nasal congestion, or airway symptoms around pigs. A negative result makes swine allergy less likely but does not exclude hay, dust, or other barn allergens. Because several animal danders share some allergens, cross-reactions can occur. Discuss your results with a healthcare provider for full context.
