About Cotton Seed Allergy Test | Cottonseed Oil in San Rafael
Cottonseed is the seed of the cotton plant, and its components are used in both food and non-food products.
Cottonseed flour is sometimes added to breads, baked goods, and food supplements, while cottonseed oil is used for cooking and in processed foods. Because refining removes most proteins from the oil, reactions to highly refined cottonseed oil are uncommon, though less refined or cold-pressed versions may retain allergenic proteins.
An allergy to cottonseed can cause symptoms such as hives, itching, swelling, stomach upset, or in severe cases difficulty breathing. People with a known allergy to cottonseed may also need to consider cross-reactivity with other seeds, though this varies by individual.
This blood test detects cottonseed-specific IgE antibodies. A healthcare provider interprets the results alongside a person's symptom history and other findings, since the presence of antibodies alone does not always confirm a clinical allergy.
