Lemon (f208) IgE details
What Lemon (f208) IgE shows
Lemon is a citrus fruit used in drinks, cooking, desserts, and flavourings, and its peel oils appear in many foods and household products. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to lemon proteins to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as itching or tingling in the mouth, hives, or stomach upset after eating lemon. Citrus fruits share similar proteins, so sensitization to lemon often goes along with sensitization to orange, lime, or grapefruit, and some results reflect cross-reactivity with pollens. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read alongside your symptoms and history.
