About Lobster Allergy Test | Shellfish Allergy in Fresno
Lobster allergy is one of the most common shellfish allergies, and it can cause reactions ranging from mild to severe.
Lobster belongs to the crustacean family of shellfish, along with crab, shrimp, and crayfish. The proteins in lobster that trigger allergic reactions are similar to those found in other crustaceans, which is why many people with a lobster allergy also react to related shellfish.
An allergic reaction occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies lobster proteins as harmful and produces IgE antibodies against them. On subsequent exposure, these antibodies trigger the release of chemicals such as histamine, leading to symptoms that may include hives, swelling, stomach upset, or difficulty breathing.
A blood test for lobster-specific IgE can help confirm sensitization when a person's history and symptoms suggest an allergy. Results are interpreted alongside clinical history, since sensitization does not always mean a person will experience a reaction.
