About Cheese, Mold Type Allergy Testing in Merced
This test evaluates sensitization to mold-type cheeses through a blood sample.
Mold-type cheeses are characterized by controlled mold growth, either on the surface or throughout the interior. Varieties such as Camembert and Brie rely on white surface molds, while Gorgonzola and Roquefort contain blue-green molds distributed within the paste.
An allergy blood test detects specific IgE antibodies that bind to proteins from these molds. The presence of such antibodies indicates that the immune system has been sensitized to the allergen, though sensitization alone does not always produce clinical symptoms.
Results are interpreted by a healthcare provider alongside a person's history of reactions. The test does not measure the severity of an allergy, and a negative result does not entirely exclude the possibility of a reaction to mold-type cheeses.
