What is Allergy Broad Bean [F500]?
This test determines if you have an allergic reaction to broad beans (fava beans). It measures specific antibodies in your blood that your immune system produces when exposed to broad beans, helping to confirm or rule out a broad bean allergy.
Why is this test important?
Identifying a broad bean allergy is crucial, especially for individuals with G6PD deficiency, as it can trigger favism, a severe reaction. For others, it helps manage symptoms like digestive upset, skin reactions, or respiratory issues by avoiding the trigger food.
