About Papaya Allergy Test | Fruit Allergies in Fallbrook
Papaya allergy is an immune response to proteins found in the fruit, and it can range from mild oral itching to more systemic reactions.
Papaya contains several proteins that can act as allergens. Some of these proteins are similar in structure to allergens in other fruits and in natural rubber latex, which is why some people with a papaya allergy also react to related foods or to latex.
Symptoms of a papaya allergy may include itching or swelling of the mouth, lips, tongue, or throat; hives; nausea; abdominal discomfort; or in more serious cases, difficulty breathing and a drop in blood pressure. Reactions can occur shortly after eating the fruit, and some people react to raw papaya but tolerate cooked forms.
A blood IgE test detects antibodies that bind to papaya proteins. Results are reported as a level or class and are interpreted alongside a person's symptom history. A positive result suggests sensitization, while a negative result makes an IgE-mediated papaya allergy less likely but does not rule out other types of reactions.
