Cashew nuts are commonly consumed in an array of forms, such as raw, roasted, etc. Cashew nuts are known to have allergen proteins Ana-o-1, Ana-o-2 and Ana-o-3 which produce severe allergic reactions. Clinically, these allergens can induce gastrointestinal symptoms such as atopy or occasionally severe anaphylaxis. Testing IgE levels helps healthcare providers diagnose and guide allergen-specific immunotherapy.
Important note: Minimum volume is 1 mL and 0.5 mL for every additional allergen.
