About Lime Allergy Test | Citrus Allergies in Lewiston
Lime allergy testing looks for specific IgE antibodies in a blood sample.
When a person is sensitized to lime, the immune system may treat certain citrus proteins as harmful and produce IgE antibodies against them. A blood test detects these antibodies and reports a numeric level that reflects the degree of sensitization.
Lime belongs to the citrus family, and reactions to one citrus fruit can sometimes overlap with sensitivity to others such as lemon, orange, or grapefruit. Cross-reactivity occurs because these fruits share similar proteins, so results are often interpreted alongside your symptom history and any other allergy testing.
IgE antibody results are not a diagnosis on their own. A clinician combines the test value with the timing and nature of your symptoms to determine whether lime is truly causing a reaction and what steps, if any, are appropriate.
