Allergic reactions to exotic fruits can cause itching, swelling, rashes, or even breathing issues. This Exotic Fruits & Latex Allergy Profile (IgE) screens for sensitivities to tropical fruits often linked to latex-fruit syndrome, where the immune system reacts to both certain fruits and natural rubber latex. It helps identify cross-reactive allergens, supporting safe food choices and reducing risks of unexpected reactions.

Why Allergy Test for Exotic Fruits and Latex (IgE) Matters?

Latex-fruit syndrome affects many people with fruit allergies, especially to kiwi, banana, or avocado. Since latex is also used in gloves, balloons, and medical equipment, knowing if reactivity exists is vital for both dietary and environmental safety. This test allows individuals to manage allergies effectively, prevent accidental exposure, and make informed lifestyle adjustments.
