Allergy - Mutton Test

If you have a stuffy or runny nose or you want to vomit or a rash develops on your skin on eating mutton, then you are allergic to this food. If a body is allergic to a food, it considers it as an enemy. At times the allergic reaction can be severe and trigger anaphylaxis reaction, which is life-threatening and should be treated immediately. Not only mutton, but beef, goat, pork, seal and even whale meat can cause allergies. Though it's hard to say how many are suffering from mutton/meat allergy, still it is a rare case. The cause for mutton allergy is the Lone Star tick. A simple bite is all you need and, if infected meat is consumed, one bite will cause you to suffer from meat allergy. It is the Lone Star tick, that initiated the red meat allergy in us and is quite predominant in Southwest from Texas and goes up-to Iowa and New England as well.

Mutton allergy is diagnosed by doing an Allergy Mutton Radio Immunosorbent Skin. For this test, no specific preparation is required. If you are taking any prescription on your own or doctor prescribed, do inform your technician so he/she can guide you accordingly. To be more certain about the diagnosis, the allergist might ask you questions to get a detailed history about your allergy. These questions are like: Which food you ate and how much How long it takes to develop the symptoms The allergist might suggest a skin or blood test as well. This is needed to verify whether food-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) is present in the body or not. Be ready for additional tests as well.

The mutton allergy test or Allergy Mutton Radio Immunosorbent Skin is used to check if the person is allergic to the said food product. The report helps in diagnosing the allergy, so the patient can be relieved of the allergy.

The Allergy Mutton Radio Immunosorbent Skin is done in a patch of skin. In this test the allergy food is introduced to the skin. The results are known within 20 minutes. A small probe containing a small amount of allergen food is inserted into the skin on your arm or at the back of your arm. The test is not painful, but is a little uncomfortable. If a small wheel that looks like a mosquito bite appears on the skin, the test is considered positive.
