Spice allergy test is done for suspected allergies due to spices used in cooking to determine the exact source causing it (allergen).
Spice allergy test measures the IgE-mediated response to 7 commonly used spices for cooking:
- Basil (Tulsi/Ocimum Basilicum)
- Black Pepper (Piper Nigrum)
- Cardamon (Elettaria Cardamomum)
- Chilipepper (Capsicum Frutescens)
- Clove (Syzygium Aromaticum)
- Coriander (Coriandrum Sativum)
- Mustard (Brassica/Sinapis Spp.)
Total IgE levels are also measured.
Spice allergy test requires a blood sample post exposure to the allergens. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer.
Positive result to an allergen indicates that the person is allergic to it. Increased allergen-specific IgE levels further confirms that. Very often the test may be positive for more than one allergen as well. The further treatment course is decided based on the results. Based on the symptom, age, environmental allergens, and region wise allergens further testing may be required for specific diagnosis. Negative result may require other tests for differential diagnosis.
