This IgE allergy test panel uses a blood sample to determine if you are allergic to the following common fruits: AppleBananaGrapePeachPearDid you know: An allergy to fruit is often an indicator of additional allergies. For example, if you are allergic to apples, we recommend taking our Birch Pollen Allergy Test to check for this common related allergy. To test for other related allergens, visit our Allergy Test Menu to select additional tests. Fruit allergies make up about 10 percent of all food-related allergies. In the case of fruit allergies, the body sees the fruit as a toxin, rather than a food. The immune system reacts by releasing histamines and antibodies to fight the toxin, causing symptoms such as swelling, rashes, throat swelling, gastrointestinal issues and more. Most allergic reactions to fruit affect the mouth, but can also affect any skin that comes in contact with the allergen. Fruit allergies can be very severe and sometimes even fatal. Traditional allergy tests utilize the Skin Prick method (also known as a Puncture or Scratch test) to determine whether an allergic reaction will occur by inserting possible triggers into your skin using a needle prick. If you are allergic to the substance, you are forced to suffer through your body's reaction to the allergen.
