About Melons Allergy Test | Cantaloupe, Honeydew in Westchester

Understanding melon allergy testing

An IgE antibody test for melons detects sensitization to proteins found in cantaloupe, honeydew, Crenshaw and muskmelons. Sensitization means the immune system has produced antibodies that recognize these proteins, though it does not by itself confirm that a reaction will occur.

Melon allergy is often linked to pollen-food syndrome, in which proteins in raw fruit resemble pollen proteins and cause itching or tingling in the mouth. Cooking usually destroys the responsible proteins, so reactions are typically limited to raw melon.

Results are reported as a quantitative IgE level. A higher value suggests a greater likelihood of clinical allergy, but diagnosis depends on the combination of history, symptoms and test results, which should be interpreted by a qualified clinician.
