What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing reactions like hives, itching, swelling, stomach upset, or breathing trouble after eating rabbit meat. It checks whether your immune system has developed sensitivity to rabbit meat proteins. This helps you understand a possible trigger behind your symptoms, especially if you eat rabbit meat regularly or have had an unexplained reaction after a meal.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with a clear explanation of what a positive or negative IgE result means. If your result is positive, a practical next step is to avoid rabbit meat and watch for symptoms after accidental exposure, and if you've had a severe reaction like swelling or trouble breathing, seek medical care right away. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and if you retest later, the trends feature lets you track any changes in your sensitization over time.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone who has noticed symptoms like hives, digestive upset, or swelling after eating rabbit meat. It's also useful if you handle rabbit meat regularly, such as in food preparation, and have started noticing skin or respiratory symptoms. People with other known food allergies who are curious about cross-reactivity with rabbit meat may also benefit.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include hives, itching, swelling of the lips or face, stomach cramps, nausea, or diarrhea shortly after eating rabbit meat. Some people also notice sneezing, a runny nose, or mild breathing difficulty. If symptoms happen consistently after eating rabbit meat, this test can help confirm whether sensitization is the cause.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. You'll get a notification once your report is available in your account, where you can view the value along with an explanation of what it means. You can also download a copy of the report to keep for your records.

How can I naturally support my immune response to food allergens?

While there's no natural way to reverse an existing sensitization, you can support your overall immune balance by eating a varied, nutrient-rich diet, staying hydrated, and managing stress, since stress can sometimes worsen allergy symptoms. Getting enough sleep and regular exercise also helps keep your immune system functioning well. The most effective step, though, is simply avoiding rabbit meat if you've tested positive and are having symptoms.

What does a positive result mean?

A positive result means your immune system has made antibodies against rabbit meat proteins, showing you're sensitized. This doesn't automatically mean you'll have a reaction every time you're exposed, but it does mean you're at higher risk of one. Combining this result with your symptom history gives the clearest picture of whether rabbit meat is actually causing your issues.

What does a negative result mean?

A negative result means no significant rabbit meat-specific IgE antibodies were found in your sample. This suggests rabbit meat sensitization is unlikely to be the cause of your symptoms, so it may be worth looking at other foods or triggers. Keep a symptom diary to help narrow down other possible causes if your reactions continue.

How often should I retest?

There's no strict schedule for retesting, but if you've eliminated rabbit meat from your diet and want to check whether sensitization has changed over time, retesting after 6-12 months is reasonable. If new symptoms appear or you're reintroducing rabbit meat into your diet, retesting beforehand can help you make an informed decision. Use the trends feature in your account to compare results side by side.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

If you test positive, start by avoiding rabbit meat and carefully checking food labels and menus for hidden ingredients. Keep track of any symptoms that occur even with accidental exposure, since this can help you understand the severity of your sensitivity. If you ever experience severe symptoms like difficulty breathing or swelling of the throat, seek emergency medical care immediately.
