Order Celery Allergy Test | VegetableCelery is a common vegetable that can trigger allergic reactions in some people, ranging from mild oral itching to more serious symptoms.

About Celery Allergy Test | Vegetable in Pasadena
Celery allergy is an immune response to proteins found in celery.
When someone with a celery allergy eats or contacts celery, the immune system mistakenly identifies certain proteins as harmful and produces immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against them. These antibodies bind to immune cells, and subsequent exposure can cause the release of histamine and other chemicals that produce allergy symptoms.
A celery allergy can cause symptoms such as itching or swelling of the mouth, lips, and throat, hives, digestive discomfort, or in severe cases, difficulty breathing and anaphylaxis. Some people with celery allergy also react to related plants like birch pollen, mugwort, or spices such as coriander, fennel, and anise due to cross-reactive proteins.
This test measures the level of celery-specific IgE antibodies in the blood. A blood sample is collected and analyzed in a laboratory, and results are typically available within one to three business days. Elevated IgE levels may indicate a sensitivity to celery, but a diagnosis should always be made in consultation with a healthcare provider who can interpret results alongside symptoms and medical history.
