Test Includes

Peach Nectarine Allergen

A peach allergy and nectarine allergy are types of food allergies, where the body's immune system reacts to proteins in these fruits. These reactions can range from mild to severe, and can involve the skin, mouth, throat, digestive system, and respiratory system. A "true" peach allergy is an IgE-mediated reaction to the Pru p 3 protein found in the fruit.

Understanding Results

If this test confirms you have a food allergy, you should follow up with your primary care provider or an allergy specialist.
