About Tangerine Allergy Test in Potomac
The Tangerine Allergy Profile is a blood test that detects immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies directed against tangerine proteins.
IgE antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to substances it mistakenly identifies as threats. When a person is sensitized to tangerine, these antibodies can bind to proteins in the fruit and trigger the release of histamine and other chemicals from immune cells.
Symptoms of tangerine allergy can vary widely. They may include itching or tingling in the mouth, hives, skin rash, swelling of the lips or face, nasal congestion, or gastrointestinal discomfort. In rare cases, a severe reaction known as anaphylaxis can occur, which requires immediate medical attention.
A positive test result indicates sensitization to tangerine, meaning IgE antibodies are present. It does not by itself confirm that a clinical allergy will occur, so results are typically interpreted alongside a person's medical history and reported symptoms. A negative result makes an IgE-mediated allergy to tangerine less likely.
