About Watermelon Allergy Test | Melon Allergy in Dekalb
Watermelon belongs to the cucurbit family, which also includes cantaloupe, honeydew, cucumber, and zucchini.
Allergic reactions to watermelon occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies certain proteins in the fruit as harmful and releases IgE antibodies against them.
Symptoms of a watermelon allergy may include itching or tingling in the mouth, hives, swelling of the lips or tongue, and in rare cases, difficulty breathing or anaphylaxis.
Because watermelon shares proteins with other melons and some pollens, a reaction to watermelon can sometimes indicate cross-reactivity with related foods or environmental allergens.
