Order Silkworm Silk Allergy Test | OccupationalSilkworm silk is a protein-based fiber produced by the larvae of Bombyx mori, the domesticated silkworm moth. While silk is valued in textiles and crafts, exposure to its proteins can trigger allergic sensitization in some individuals. The Silkworm Silk Allergy Test measures specific IgE antibodies in the blood to help identify an immune response to silk proteins.
About Silkworm Silk Allergy Test | Occupational in Green
Occupational exposure to silkworm silk is a recognized route of sensitization for workers in sericulture, textile manufacturing, and related industries.
Silkworm silk consists largely of fibroin and sericin proteins. Sericin, a gum-like protein that coats the silk fiber, has been implicated as a common allergen, though reactions to fibroin have also been reported. Inhalation of dust or airborne particles during processing is a frequent route of exposure in occupational settings.
Allergic responses to silk may include rhinitis, conjunctivitis, asthma, and contact dermatitis. Symptoms often appear or worsen during work shifts and may improve when away from the exposure source. Because these signs overlap with other respiratory and skin conditions, objective testing can help clarify whether silk proteins are contributing.
The test uses a blood sample to quantify IgE antibodies specific to silkworm silk. Results are interpreted alongside exposure history and clinical symptoms. A positive result indicates sensitization, which does not by itself confirm allergy, while a negative result can help rule out silk as a trigger.
