About Squid Allergy Test | Seafood Allergies in East Lake
Squid allergy testing is used when a person reports symptoms after eating squid or dishes that contain it, such as calamari.
The test detects IgE antibodies directed at squid proteins. IgE is the class of antibody most closely associated with immediate allergic reactions, which typically develop within minutes to a couple of hours after exposure.
Squid belongs to the mollusk group, which also includes clams, mussels, oysters, and scallops. A person may react to squid alone or to several mollusks, and shellfish allergies involving crustaceans such as shrimp and crab are tracked separately.
Results are interpreted alongside a person's history of symptoms. A positive result indicates sensitization to squid proteins, while the clinical picture helps determine whether that sensitization corresponds to a true allergy.
