Order Silkworm Silk Allergy Test | OccupationalThe Silkworm Silk Allergy Test (Occupational) measures specific IgE antibodies directed against proteins from the silk of Bombyx mori, the domesticated silkworm.

About Silkworm Silk Allergy Test | Occupational in Windsor
Silk is a natural protein fiber produced by the larvae of Bombyx mori, and it is widely used in textiles and specialty goods.
Exposure to silkworm silk can occur at multiple stages of production, including rearing, reeling, weaving, and finishing. Airborne dust and fiber fragments generated during these processes may carry allergenic proteins that, once inhaled, can trigger IgE-mediated responses in susceptible individuals.
Silk allergy has been documented among textile workers, silk reelers, and others with repeated occupational contact. Reported symptoms range from rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and asthma to contact urticaria and, in rare cases, anaphylaxis. The condition is sometimes grouped with other occupational allergies to animal-derived proteins.
This test detects circulating IgE antibodies specific to silkworm silk proteins. A positive result indicates sensitization, which must be interpreted alongside the clinical history and exposure record; sensitization alone does not confirm that symptoms are caused by silk.
