Order Lettuce Allergy Test | Food AllergiesA lettuce allergy test measures the amount of immunoglobulin E, or IgE, antibodies in the blood that react specifically to lettuce proteins. IgE is the antibody class most closely associated with immediate allergic reactions. Unlike skin prick testing, which introduces a small amount of allergen into the skin, this test relies on a blood sample and does not itself expose the body to the allergen.
About Lettuce Allergy Test | Food Allergies in Mansfield
Lettuce is a common salad vegetable, and allergy to it is uncommon but documented.
Lettuce belongs to the daisy family, Asteraceae, a plant group that includes mugwort, ragweed, and several other vegetables and herbs. Because of this botanical relationship, some people who react to lettuce also react to related plants, a pattern known as cross-reactivity.
Symptoms of lettuce allergy can include itching or tingling in the mouth, hives, swelling of the lips or face, nausea, and in rare cases more severe reactions. Reactions may occur after eating raw lettuce, and some people tolerate cooked lettuce better because heating can alter the proteins involved.
A blood test reports a numerical result for lettuce-specific IgE. Results are interpreted alongside a person's history and other findings, since a detectable antibody level does not always correspond to clinical symptoms, and symptoms can occur even when levels are low.
