Not all allergies are IgE mediated. Allergy means altered reactivity yet has come to be narrowed to IgE mediated by the majority of the medical profession. Environmental Sensitivity includes many non IgE meidated sensitivities. Sensitivity being a more accurate term.
It becomes a bit mind boggling but there is information. Also see www.vitaroyal.com for Environmental Illness in horses. There is also a discussion list associated with this web site. The owner is a biochemist who specializes in EI in horses and humans. She is very helpful and you can email her directly or from her Yahoo list on Environmental Health.
