Goose Feathers

This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in goose feathers. It helps show whether your immune system treats goose feathers as a harmful invader, which can explain symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, or trouble breathing after exposure to down bedding. This information helps doctors distinguish a specific feather allergy from reactions to dust mites or other environmental triggers. However, this test alone cannot predict exactly how severe a future allergic reaction might be.
