Lemon Allergy Blood Test

Test Code: 602768
Specimen Type: Blood
Lemon Allergy Blood Test Online

Description:

Lemon Allergy Blood Test (Labcorp)

This test measures a person's allergic reaction to Lemons.  Lemons are a type of citrus fruit.  While citrus allergies are not common they do affect some people.  Those who are allergic to lemons may be allergic to other types of citrus such as oranges, limes, and grapefruits as well.  People with an allergy to lemons should check ingredients as the juice and oil from lemons are used to flavor a variety of products.

Allergy symptoms can develop anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours after ingestion or exposure.  Common food allergy symptoms include rash, hives, itching, cough, wheezing, tightening of the throat, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and lightheadedness.  People with a severe allergy may experience anaphylaxis which can be fatal.   

Food allergies are caused by a reaction in the body's immune system.  The body identifies certain substances as harmful and produces IgE antibodies against them.  These antibodies trigger the release of histamine which causes the symptoms of an allergic reaction.  The severity of the allergy will vary from one person to the next.  Blood allergy testing provides numerical results for IgE antibody levels to help determine how severe a reaction a person will have.  Positive allergy test results should be discussed with a person's doctor to determine the appropriate follow up.

This test is typically ordered when someone experiences allergy symptoms shortly after eating products that contain lemon or lemon juice.  Lemon is also included in our citrus allergy test.  For further options, please see our allergy testing category.

Turnaround for this test is typically 2-5 business days.
