The Asparagus IgE blood test is used to measure an individual’s allergic reaction to asparagus. It is a perennial flowering plant, whose young shoots are used as a spring vegetable. Asparagus is rich in a variety of antioxidant nutrients, like vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and minerals like manganese, zinc, and selenium. While they offer numerous benefits, unfortunately, few people are allergic to asparagus.

The Asparagus IgE blood test is used to measure an individual’s allergic reaction to asparagus. It is a perennial flowering plant, whose young shoots are used as a spring vegetable. Asparagus is rich in a variety of antioxidant nutrients, like vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and minerals like manganese, zinc, and selenium. While they offer numerous benefits, unfortunately, few people are allergic to asparagus. People allergic to asparagus could also expect an allergy to other members of the Alliaceae family like onions, leeks, garlic, and chives. After ingestion, it may take a few minutes to a few hours for an allergy symptom to appear. The classic food allergy symptoms include rashes, hives, itching, cough, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and light-headedness. People with a severe allergy may experience anaphylaxis, a serious, life-threatening allergic reaction.
Food allergies are an abnormal response of the body's immune system to certain foods. The body identifies certain substances as harmful and produces IgE antibodies against them. Thus, Testing for IgE antibodies may be useful to establish the diagnosis of an allergic disease and to define the allergens responsible for causing signs and symptoms.
