Salmon Allergy Test

How Our Salmon Allergy Test Works

Our Salmon Allergy Test may be purchased online, and then you can visit any of our 4,000+ convenient locations nationwide at your leisure to take the test (no appointment required). When a member of the center’s staff takes a small quantity of blood from you through the skin prick method, your part of the operation will be complete.

Most patients can go about their day in less than 30 minutes following sample collection. You can obtain full results in as little as 48 to 72 hours if your sample is sent to a CLIA-accredited laboratory for processing if you have an allergy or sensitivity to foods derived from animals.

Common Salmon Allergy Symptoms

Although an adult may acquire a salmon allergy, it often appears in children. Some previously healthy adults may develop a threshold degree of sensitization after consuming salmon, at which point they may have allergic symptoms every time they eat fish.

A salmon allergy may cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, including:

•   Salmon can cause various allergic reactions, including skin, eyes, nose, and stomach. Itchy, irritated skin is a common reaction to touching fish. 
•   The inhalation of steam from cooking or consuming an allergic fish may lead to symptoms such as hives, watery eyes, sore throat, nasal congestion, nausea, vomiting, and even diarrhea. 
•   Extreme lightheadedness or passing out might result from circulatory problems after uncommon allergic responses.

How to Interpret Your Results

We want you to be completely comfortable with your allergy testing results, so we’ve made every effort to communicate them to you in the clearest way possible. We employ an Immunoglobulin-E (IgE) blood test that measures IgE antibodies in the body to ascertain salmon allergy.

When analyzing your data, the findings column will contain not only your results but also any flags and a reference range. The phrase “reference range” describes the minimal concentration at which an allergic reaction may develop. When talking about allergies, the term “result” refers to the numerical score representing your sensitivity to allergens. The “flag” column in your report will indicate whether your salmon test was normal/nonreactive or abnormal/reactive. A positive or negative test flag marks each allergic reaction to salmon.
