About Lime Allergy Test | Citrus Allergies in Citrus Heights
This test uses a blood sample to check for IgE antibodies specific to lime.
IgE antibodies are part of the immune system's response to substances it mistakenly identifies as threats. When a person is sensitized to lime, these antibodies can trigger symptoms after exposure, whether through eating the fruit, drinking its juice, or contacting its peel or oil.
Citrus allergies are less common than allergies to other foods, but they do occur. Symptoms may include itching or tingling in the mouth, hives, swelling of the lips or face, and in more serious cases, difficulty breathing or digestive upset. A blood test helps clarify whether lime is a likely trigger.
Results should be interpreted alongside your symptom history and other clinical findings. Sensitization on a test does not always mean a reaction will occur, and a negative result does not entirely rule out a non-IgE mediated reaction. A healthcare professional can help put the findings into context.
