Clam allergy testing measures the immune system's response to proteins found in clam tissue. The test uses a blood sample to detect specific IgE antibodies, which are produced when the body identifies a substance as a threat.

About Clam Allergy Test | Shellfish Allergy in Woonsocket

Clam allergy is one of several shellfish allergies that can cause reactions ranging from mild to severe.

Shellfish allergies fall into two broad categories: crustaceans, such as shrimp, crab, and lobster, and mollusks, which include clams, mussels, oysters, and scallops. A person may be allergic to one group, both groups, or specific species within a group.

The IgE antibody test works by mixing a blood sample with clam proteins and measuring the amount of antibody that binds to them. Elevated levels suggest sensitization, though sensitization alone does not always mean a clinical reaction will occur.

Clam allergy symptoms can include hives, itching, swelling, stomach upset, wheezing, or difficulty breathing. Because shellfish reactions can be severe, anyone with a suspected allergy should discuss results with a qualified healthcare professional.
