Eosinophils: Elevated eosinophils are usually caused by allergies. Parasitic infections have also been known to cause elevations in eosinophils. If you are generally feeling well, your bloodwork appears to be reassuring.

Not to worry: A slight increased percentage of eosinophils on a CBC most often reflects on allergies. Still would be sure your doctor agrees when he returns
