About Melons Allergy Test | Cantaloupe, Honeydew in Mount Vernon
Melon allergy is a distinct food allergy that can appear on its own or alongside sensitivities to other fruits and pollens.
The test detects IgE antibodies that bind to melon proteins. IgE is the class of antibody associated with immediate allergic reactions, so its presence in the blood can support a diagnosis when considered with a person's history and symptoms.
Symptoms of melon allergy may include itching or tingling in the mouth, swelling of the lips or throat, hives, and in more severe cases, difficulty breathing or a drop in blood pressure. Reactions can vary widely between individuals and may depend on the amount eaten or how the fruit is prepared.
