1276. Allergen. Extract. Goat willow (pollen, t12), IgE antibodies
Description
Goat willow is a tree from the Willow family, which is widespread in Europe and Asia. In the second half of spring, during the flowering of goat willow, people sensitized to it may experience symptoms of hay fever (cough, difficulty breathing, rash, itching, etc.).
