Rabbit (f213) IgE details
What Rabbit (f213) IgE shows
Rabbit meat is eaten in many cuisines, either roasted, stewed or in pâtés. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to proteins in rabbit meat in your blood to check for allergic sensitization to it as a food, which is different from allergy to rabbit dander. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as hives, itching or digestive upset after eating rabbit. Mammal meats share some proteins, so sensitization can overlap with other meats, and alpha-gal syndrome, a tick-related red meat allergy, can also involve rabbit. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily a true allergy, so it needs to be read alongside your symptoms and history.
