also known as Strawberry IgE Ab in Serum by Radioallergosorbent test (RAST)
This IgE allergy test panel uses a blood sample to determine if you are allergic to five common Berry fruits: Strawberry Raspberry Blueberry Cranberry Avocado Did you know: An allergy to berries is often an indicator of additional allergies, specifically to other fruits such as bananas, grapes, and peaches. Check out our General Fruit Allergen Panel and Citrus Fruit Allergen Panels to get tested for the most common fruit allergies in convenient, money-saving packages. Fruit allergies make up about 10% of all food-related allergies. In the case of berry 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.
