This IgE antibody allergy test uses a blood sample to determine if you are allergic to Tomatoes. Symptoms of tomato allergies often include the following: Swelling of the mouth and facial regionItching in the throatAbdominal crampsRashesHyperventilatingEye puffinessAcid refluxAnaphlyaxis Tomato allergies are rare, but if you find yourself experiencing any of the above symptoms after consuming tomatoes, we suggest getting tested.Tomatoes belong to a category of flowering plants called Nightshades. Most nightshades are not edible, but edible ones are used widely across North America. Edible nightshades include white potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, bell peppers, chilis, and more. If you find yourself experiencing allergic reactions to tomatoes, understand that you may be more prone to allergic reactions from other nightshade foods as well. Therefore, we suggest following up this test with other nightshade allergy tests, to ensure your diet will not invoke other allergic reactions. If you find yourself allergic to tomatoes, it may be frustrating to learn and avoid all of the foods that contain tomato products. However, this is a necessary avoidance, as severe allergic reactions can lead to anaphylaxis and death. 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.
