  • Cashew IgE — reflects immune sensitivity to cashew proteins
  • Coconut IgE — reflects immune sensitivity to coconut proteins
  • Hazelnut IgE — reflects immune sensitivity to hazelnut proteins
  • Pecan IgE — reflects immune sensitivity to pecan proteins
  • Peanut IgE — reflects immune sensitivity to peanut proteins

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small blood sample from a vein in your arm, usually at a lab or clinic. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
