Watermelon (rf329) IgE details
What Watermelon (rf329) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies specific to watermelon proteins to check whether your immune system is sensitized to this fruit. It can help look into symptoms such as itching or tingling of the mouth and throat, hives or swelling after eating watermelon. Watermelon proteins resemble some pollen proteins, especially from ragweed and grasses, so mouth symptoms can be linked to pollen allergy. A positive result shows sensitization, meaning your body has made IgE to watermelon, not necessarily a clinical allergy. Results are interpreted against your symptoms, any pollen allergies and your history.
