Botrytis cinerea

This test measures specific antibodies in your blood that react to Botrytis cinerea, a common gray mold found on plants and rotting fruit. It helps show whether your immune system treats this mold as a threat, which can cause symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, or asthma flare-ups. This testing helps doctors distinguish a specific mold allergy from other environmental triggers like pollen or dust mites. However, a positive result does not predict how severe an allergic reaction will be, nor does it diagnose a current fungal infection.
