Mint
Use
Quantitative allergen‑specific IgE testing to detect IgE antibodies specific to mint allergen (e.g., peppermint and spearmint). Useful in evaluation of suspected mint allergy, including contact reactions and ingestion-related symptoms; results should be interpreted in context of clinical and laboratory findings.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
High levels of total IgE (>3000 IU/mL, e.g., due to parasitic infestations or other conditions) may result in nonspecific binding. Quantitative allergen‑specific IgE results must be interpreted alongside clinical and other laboratory findings.
