Clove (f268) IgE details
What Clove (f268) IgE shows
Clove is a spice made from dried flower buds, used in baking, mulled drinks, spice blends, curries and some dental and cosmetic products. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to clove proteins to check for allergic sensitization. It can help when you notice mouth itching, hives, swelling or other symptoms after foods or products containing clove. A positive result shows that your immune system has made IgE to clove. Spice allergy is uncommon, and some reactions to clove are irritant or contact reactions rather than IgE-mediated allergy. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
