Allergen, Individual-Food Lobster Homarus gammarus
Overview
In certain individuals, the human body produces Immunoglobulin E (IgE) as an exaggerated response to allergens like Lobster Homarus gammarus and other crustaceans. Elevated IgE levels can trigger allergic reactions, gastric disturbances, hives, and sometimes life-threatening anaphylactic shock. It is thus crucial to measure specific allergen IgE levels accurately to diagnose shellfish allergies and avoid potential complications.
