Allergy, Individual Marker, BRINJAL

Allergy, Individual Marker, Brinjal tests are used to check an individual’s allergic reactions to brinjal. Brinjal contains chemicals called solanine and histamines. These chemicals trigger immune responses and stomach issues. A simple skin prick test or a blood test can confirm the allergic reactions. Elevated levels of IgE antibodies are seen in the blood test. The symptoms include hives, itchiness around the lips and mouth, tingling sensation, tongue swelling, breathlessness, nausea, fainting episodes, and wheezing.

Immediate medical treatment consists of oral antihistamines for mild symptoms and adrenaline injections for severe cases. As a safety measure, try to avoid eating brinjal directly or indirectly in your diet. Always read the ingredients label carefully before buying any processed foods.
