FAQs
What is an insect allergy panel test?
An insect allergy panel test is a diagnostic tool used to identify specific allergies to insect stings or bites. It tests for IgE antibodies in the blood that react to proteins found in the venom or saliva of various insects, helping to determine if an individual is allergic to certain insects.
Which insects are typically included in an insect allergy panel test?
Common insects included in an allergy panel test are bees, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, fire ants, and occasionally other stinging or biting insects like mosquitoes and ticks. The specific insects tested can vary depending on the testing facility and the individual’s suspected allergies.
How is the insect allergy panel test performed?
The test is usually conducted through a blood sample. A healthcare professional will draw a small amount of blood, which is then analyzed in a laboratory for the presence of IgE antibodies specific to the proteins in various insect venoms or saliva.
What are the symptoms of an insect allergy that might prompt this test?
Symptoms of an insect allergy can include localized swelling, redness, and pain at the site of the sting or bite; hives or generalized itching; respiratory symptoms such as wheezing or shortness of breath; gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea or diarrhea; and, in severe cases, anaphylaxis, which is a life-threatening allergic reaction.
