About Mosquito Allergy Test | Insect Allergies in Berkeley
Understanding mosquito allergy testing
An allergy blood test works by detecting specific IgE antibodies, the immune proteins that circulate when the body has identified a substance as a threat. In the case of mosquitoes, the targets are proteins found in the insect's saliva, which is deposited into the skin during a bite.
Most of the proteins in mosquito saliva are allergenic in humans, and research has identified a substantial number of them. Sensitization can develop after repeated exposure, which is why reactions sometimes appear or intensify over time rather than with the very first bites.
The panel requires only a blood draw, so there is no need to be bitten during the test itself. Results are typically reported within a few business days and should be interpreted alongside a person's history of symptoms and exposure.
