Order Lime Allergy Test | Citrus AllergiesA lime allergy test measures the presence of specific IgE antibodies that the immune system may produce in response to proteins found in lime.

This blood-based test provides objective information that can help clarify whether lime is contributing to allergic symptoms.
About Lime Allergy Test | Citrus Allergies in Goldsboro
Understanding lime allergy testing
An allergy to lime is an immune-mediated response to proteins in the fruit, peel, or juice. Symptoms may include itching, hives, swelling, or, in rare cases, more severe reactions. Because lime is often consumed with other foods, identifying it as a trigger can be difficult without laboratory testing.
This test detects lime-specific IgE antibodies in a blood sample. IgE is the class of antibody most closely associated with immediate allergic reactions. A measurable level of lime-specific IgE indicates that the immune system has been sensitized to lime proteins, though the result must be interpreted alongside a person's clinical history.
Citrus fruits such as lime, lemon, orange, and grapefruit can share similar proteins, so a reaction to one may sometimes accompany sensitivity to another. Testing can help distinguish which specific citrus fruits are involved, guiding avoidance strategies and informing discussions with a healthcare provider.
