About Lemon Allergy: Testing & Symptoms | Citrus Allergies in Baltimore
A lemon allergy profile measures specific antibodies that indicate sensitization to citrus allergens.
Citrus fruits share structurally similar proteins, so a reaction to lemon can coincide with reactions to orange, lime, grapefruit, or other members of the Rutaceae family. A panel approach accounts for this overlap rather than evaluating lemon in isolation.
Symptoms of citrus allergy can include itching or tingling of the mouth and lips, hives, skin rash, nasal congestion, or digestive upset. In rare cases, a more severe reaction involving breathing difficulty or swelling occurs, which requires immediate medical attention.
Testing typically involves a blood sample analyzed for allergen-specific immunoglobulin E. Results are interpreted alongside a person's clinical history, since sensitization on a test does not always correspond to symptoms in daily life.
