Lime (f306) IgE details
What Lime (f306) IgE shows
Lime is a citrus fruit used in drinks, cooking, sauces, and desserts, and its peel oils are used in flavourings and fragrances. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to lime 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 lime. Citrus fruits share similar proteins, so sensitization to lime often goes along with sensitization to lemon, orange, 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.
