Hi Heidi,

As much as I know: eosinophils are one of the white blood cells. They are
usually less than 5% in the blood. If this count is high, it shows that the body
is fighting something (an allergy). I don't know if there is any danger to
having elevated levels for a long period of time but I am going to ask. There is
a conditon (rare) where the body fights itself and it can manifest itself in
high eos levels. A person experiencing hay fever or any allergy would have high
levels. One person even thought that they could have been high in Jonathan when
I was exclusively expressing breastmilk because I am the one with the allergies.
However, they are still high and he is on formulas now.
