About Chicken Allergy Test | Meat Allergy in Galt
This test uses a blood sample to assess sensitization to chicken meat.
The assay detects IgE antibodies that bind to proteins found in chicken meat. When these antibodies are present, the immune system may treat chicken as a foreign substance and release chemicals such as histamine, which produce allergy symptoms.
Chicken meat allergy is uncommon but recognized. Reactions can include hives, itching, swelling, stomach upset, or breathing difficulty, and they typically occur within minutes to a few hours after eating chicken. Some people react to raw chicken through skin contact or inhalation rather than ingestion.
A positive result indicates sensitization, meaning the immune system has produced IgE against chicken. It does not by itself confirm that eating chicken will cause symptoms. A negative result makes an IgE-mediated chicken allergy unlikely but does not rule out other types of adverse reactions.
