Allergen,Individual - Food Tomato Tamatar (Lycopersicon Lycopresicum)

Allergen, Individual - Food Tomato Tamatar (Lycopersicon Lycopresicum) test is done to find if the person is allergic to tomatoes or not. The blood test of an allergic individual shows abnormally high levels of an antibody called Immunoglobulin-E (IgE) antibodies, that are released into the blood by the immune system to protect the body against the allergy-causing substance (called an allergen), tomato. Profilin proteins in tomatoes trigger the allergic response. The symptoms are usually mild and include skin rash (hives), abdominal cramps, nausea, itching sensation in the mouth, sneezing, and swelling around the mouth and face. The best way to prevent allergy is to avoid the consumption of tomatoes directly or indirectly. Read the food ingredient labels carefully before purchasing any products.
