Mussel Allergy Test

Mussels, belonging to the shellfish category, are a common source of food allergies. Shellfish allergies often extend to both mollusks and crustaceans. The immune system’s response to mussel allergy involves the production of IgE antibodies, triggering histamine release and subsequent allergic reactions. The Mussel Allergy test offered by Hypro Diagnostics identifies this allergy by measuring allergen-specific IgE antibodies in the bloodstream. Symptoms vary but may include respiratory issues, skin reactions, abdominal discomfort, and, in severe cases, anaphylaxis. Early detection through the Mussel Allergy test is crucial for appropriate management and preventive measures. Hypro Diagnostics provides a convenient platform for individuals to book this test, ensuring timely diagnosis and tailored treatment plans. For those at risk of anaphylaxis, having injectable epinephrine is advised, emphasizing the importance of seeking medical attention even after its use.
