Allergy, Fish (Cod)

Hypro Diagnostics recognizes that fish allergies, often surfacing in adulthood, can range from mild to severe, with symptoms like skin rash, nausea, and even anaphylaxis. Notably, being allergic to one type of fish doesn’t imply an allergy to all. The IgE antibodies trigger immune responses leading to allergic reactions. Distinguishing between a fish allergy and intolerance is crucial, with the former being potentially life-threatening. Seeking a healthcare professional’s guidance is essential for an accurate diagnosis, often involving skin-prick or blood tests. Hypro Diagnostics provides a convenient at-home Fish Allergy Test through their website and app, facilitating the identification of fish allergies, specifying the allergen (such as codfish), and determining the severity for an effective treatment plan. Once diagnosed, precautions and dietary adjustments become imperative to manage fish allergies effectively.
