An oxeye daisy IgE blood test measures antibodies against oxeye daisy pollen. Oxeye daisy is a flowering weed that produces airborne pollen, and sensitized people may experience seasonal nasal, eye, or respiratory symptoms when it is present. The test is a screening tool to assess sensitization, not a diagnosis by itself. It may be ordered when symptoms follow a weed pollen pattern or when a broader weed pollen panel is being reviewed.

• Oxeye daisy pollen-specific IgE Antibodies produced against oxeye daisy pollen proteins; used to assess sensitization.

• Seasonal sneezing, nasal itch, or congestion during daisy pollen season
• Itchy, watery, or irritated eyes that recur with airborne pollen
• Cough or wheezing linked to weed pollen exposure
• Suspected weed pollen allergy under evaluation
• Testing as part of a broad weed pollen panel

• No fasting is required for this IgE antibody test.
• Tell the collector about allergy medicines you take, as some may affect testing.
• No special diet or timing is necessary.

Results show the level of oxeye daisy-specific IgE. A low or undetectable level suggests no meaningful sensitization, while an elevated level may indicate immune reactivity to oxeye daisy pollen and can be associated with seasonal symptoms. A positive result alone does not confirm that this pollen causes your symptoms. Discuss your results with a healthcare provider for an individualized interpretation.
