About Lemon Allergy: Testing & Symptoms | Citrus Allergies in Merced
Lemon allergy falls under the broader category of citrus allergy, which can involve several fruits in the same botanical family.
Citrus fruits such as lemon, orange, lime, grapefruit, and tangerine share similar proteins that can provoke allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. A lemon allergy may therefore coincide with reactions to other citruses, which is why testing often includes a panel rather than a single fruit.
Symptoms of lemon allergy can include tingling or itching in the mouth, swelling of the lips or tongue, hives, and in more severe cases, difficulty breathing or digestive upset. These reactions typically occur shortly after eating or handling the fruit or its peel.
Diagnostic testing for lemon allergy generally involves a blood test that measures specific IgE antibodies to lemon and related citrus allergens. Following the lab's instructions before testing helps ensure accurate results, which are usually available within a few business days.
