Order Lime Allergy Test | Citrus AllergiesA lime allergy test is a blood-based immunoassay that measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies directed against proteins found in lime. Because IgE-mediated reactions can occur alongside sensitivity to other citrus fruits, testing is generally interpreted in the context of a person's symptom history and additional allergen results.
About Lime Allergy Test | Citrus Allergies in Central
Lime allergy testing detects the presence of specific IgE antibodies that the immune system may produce in response to lime proteins.
The test uses a blood sample, which is analyzed for IgE antibodies that bind to lime allergens. Elevated specific IgE can support a diagnosis of lime sensitization when considered alongside clinical symptoms such as itching, hives, or oral tingling after exposure.
Lime belongs to the citrus family, and cross-reactivity is possible with other citrus fruits including lemon, orange, and grapefruit. A positive result for lime does not automatically confirm a clinical allergy, and a negative result does not entirely exclude one, so results are best reviewed by a qualified healthcare professional.
IgE antibody testing is distinct from skin prick testing and from tests that assess non-IgE reactions. The blood sample is collected in a laboratory setting, and results are typically reported within a few business days depending on the laboratory's workflow.
