Order a Papaya Allergy IgE Blood Test to detect an allergy to papayas. This test measures the amount of allergen-specific antibodies in a blood sample. Papayas, often called papaws or pawpaws, grow well in tropical climates. They're a popular fruit due to their sweet flavor, vibrant color, and several health benefits.
Unripened papaya consists of a high amount of latex. There's a considerable probability you're allergic to papaya if you've been diagnosed with a latex allergy.
Common allergy symptoms could include:
- hives
- itching
- stuffy nose
- wheezing and chest tightness
- in severe cases, anaphylaxis or severe breathing difficulty
