About Squid Allergy Test | Seafood Allergies in Foster City
Squid allergy testing uses a blood sample to look for IgE antibodies directed against squid.
The immune system normally defends the body against harmful substances. In a food allergy, it mistakenly identifies a protein in the food as a threat and produces IgE antibodies against it. Those antibodies attach to immune cells, and when the person later eats the food, the cells release chemicals such as histamine that cause allergy symptoms.
Squid is a mollusk, a group that also includes clams, mussels, oysters, and scallops. A person who reacts to squid may or may not react to other mollusks, and shellfish allergy testing often includes more than one type of seafood to clarify the pattern. Squid is frequently eaten fried as calamari or used in Japanese dishes such as sushi and sashimi.
A blood test reports a numerical level of squid-specific IgE. Results are interpreted alongside the person's history of symptoms, because a positive result alone does not always mean a clinical allergy, and a negative result does not rule out every possible reaction. A physician can explain what the findings mean for an individual.
