About Crab Allergy Test | Shellfish Allergy in Hobbs

Crab is a crustacean and one of the most common triggers of shellfish allergy.

Shellfish allergy involves an immune response to proteins found in crustaceans such as crab, shrimp, lobster, and crayfish, as well as mollusks like clams and mussels. A crab allergy test detects specific IgE antibodies that bind to crab proteins in a blood sample.

Symptoms of a crab allergy may include hives, itching, swelling of the lips or face, stomach upset, wheezing, or difficulty breathing. In some people, exposure can lead to a severe reaction known as anaphylaxis, which requires immediate medical attention.

This test uses a blood draw, so it does not require exposure to the food itself. Results are typically reported as a numerical value or class, which a healthcare provider interprets alongside your symptom history and other clinical findings.
