About Crab Allergy Test | Shellfish Allergy in Temecula
Crab is a crustacean and one of the more common triggers of shellfish allergy.
An allergic reaction to crab occurs when the immune system identifies certain proteins in the crab as harmful and produces IgE antibodies against them. These antibodies bind to immune cells, and subsequent exposure can prompt the release of chemicals such as histamine, which cause symptoms.
A crab allergy test detects the level of crab-specific IgE in a blood sample. The result is reported as a numerical value or a class, and it is interpreted alongside a person's symptom history. A positive result alone does not confirm an allergy, and a negative result does not always rule one out.
People with a crab allergy may also react to other crustaceans, such as shrimp, lobster, and crayfish, because their proteins can be similar. Some individuals tolerate mollusks, such as clams and mussels, while others do not. A clinician can help determine which foods are safe based on test results and clinical history.
