About Honey Bee Allergy Test | Honeybee Sting in Pacifica
Honey bee venom allergy testing examines specific antibodies produced by the immune system after exposure to honey bee venom.
The test detects immunoglobulin E, or IgE, antibodies that bind to proteins in honey bee venom. A blood sample is analyzed for the presence and level of these antibodies.
Honey bees are the only stinging members of the Hymenoptera order that almost always leave a stinger behind after a sting. This trait can help distinguish a honey bee sting from stings by wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets, though testing provides a more precise answer.
Results are interpreted alongside the history of the reaction. A positive result indicates sensitization to honey bee venom, while the severity of a future reaction depends on several factors that a clinician evaluates.
