Linden is a tree from the Malvaceae family, commonly used in landscaping. Its pollen is known to trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. The linden allergy test measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood to detect a potential allergic reaction to linden pollen.

What causes a linden allergy?

Allergy occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies linden pollen as harmful, prompting the production of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. These antibodies trigger the release of chemicals like histamine, causing allergic symptoms. Factors that can increase the risk of allergy include genetic predisposition, seasonal changes, and cross-reactivity with other allergens.
