A member asked:

Is a consistent eosinophils count of 5% enough to negatively impact my health?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to tell: An elevated eosinophil count can be normal but can also be a sign of disease. It is more the absolute number of the cells than the percent that matter more. So it would depend on your white blood cell count.
