Frequently asked questions
Does a positive result mean I am allergic to melons?
Not necessarily. A positive result shows your blood has antibodies that react to melon proteins, but only a clinician can determine whether you have a true allergy based on your symptoms and history.

Yes. No fasting is needed, and you do not have to avoid melon beforehand unless your clinician tells you otherwise.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 1 to 3 business days after your blood sample is collected.
Will this test tell me which melon caused my reaction?
It may show which melon proteins your blood reacts to, but results are not always exact. Your clinician will use them with your symptom history to guide next steps.
