Citrus Fruit Allergy Panel

The Citrus Fruit Allergy Panel determines whether or not you are allergic to various fruits. Citrus allergies are common in children and young adults and can develop at any age. Citrus and fruit allergies as a whole occur when the body views certain fruits as toxins and triggers an immune response to combat them. Depending on the type of allergy, reactions may occur when fruit touches the skin or only when consumed. Reactions can range from mild and irritating to potentially life-threatening, which is why it's best to know what fruits you're allergic to and what to do should you accidentally come in contact or eat something that can put you in danger.

The Citrus Food Allergy Panel is comprised of five tests for the following fruits:

• Lemons
• Limes
• Grapefruits
• Oranges
• Tangerines/mandarins
