Apple
Apple allergy is an allergic reaction to proteins found in apples, often associated with Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS). It typically affects individuals allergic to birch pollen, as similar proteins in apples can cause cross-reactivity. Symptoms range from mild oral irritation to more noticeable reactions, although severe cases are rare.
Description
- Itching or tingling in the mouth, lips, and throat
- Swelling of the lips, mouth, tongue, or throat
- Hives or skin rash
- Nausea or stomach discomfort
- In rare cases, anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction
Individuals with apple allergy, especially those with Oral Allergy Syndrome, may also react to:
- Other fruits, such as pears, cherries, and peaches.
- Certain nuts, like almonds and hazelnuts.
- Vegetables such as carrots and celery.
- If you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction after eating apples.
- If you have allergies to birch pollen and experience mouth or throat irritation when eating fresh apples.
- If you’ve had reactions to other related fruits or nuts.
- Avoid eating raw apples; cooking apples can often prevent symptoms as heat alters the allergenic proteins.
- Be cautious with apple-containing products, such as ciders and apple-flavored foods.
- Read food labels carefully to avoid accidental consumption.
- For mild symptoms, over-the-counter antihistamines may provide relief.
- Carry an epinephrine auto-injector if you’ve been prescribed one for severe reactions.
- Consult with an allergist for specific advice, allergy testing, and management strategies.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in Europe. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
