Welcome, @montyg.
According to Mayo Clinic's information (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hypereosinophilic-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20352854)
"Some varieties of hypereosinophilic syndrome tend to run in families. Other types have been associated with certain types of cancers, infections or other health problems."

It sounds like HES in your case may be related to an allergic reaction. Do I have that right? Can you elaborate?

Thank you for moving my post. A family member was diagnosed with HES but we were never told how they got it. As far as we know no other family member has had it. I did not know there are different varieties of HES. This is all new to me.
