Sesame seeds have been used since a long time ago, for consumption and as a key ingredient utilised in the preparation of soaps, cosmetics, medicines, lubricants etc. The seed is even available in a packed form in grocery stores and multicultural markets. Sesame seeds are frequently included in sweets and baked products and are a staple in many ethnic cuisines' savoury delicacies.

Sesame seeds have significant amounts of calcium, protein, unsaturated fatty acids, and vitamins A, B, and E. They are also a good source of calcium.

Although a sesame seed allergy is less common than other allergies, the effects can be just as fatal to health. Sesame seeds include several allergens, such as albumins, oleosins, globulins and profilins. Recent research has revealed that sesame seeds contain a lipid transfer protein.

Tree nut and sesame seed allergies both have the potential for cross-reactivity. As a result, someone allergic to sesame may also be allergic to other nuts and seeds. Hazelnut and rye grain allergies are frequently seen in individuals with a sesame seed allergy.

Numerous foods, cosmetics, dietary supplements, medicines and pet feeds contain sesame. A person with a sesame seed allergy needs to make sure they are aware of the contents in the foods they consume and items they use.

A person's immune system reacts when they are sensitive to sesame seeds. The body creates Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against some contaminants because it perceives them as hazardous. The release of histamine indicates an allergic response which is prompted by these antibodies.

Depending on the individual, allergic reactions can range from mild to significant and might appear minutes to several hours after contact or ingestion. The following signs and symptoms may be present in individuals who have a sesame seed allergy:

  • Hives 
  • Facial Erythema 
  • Throat or mouth sensitivity 
  • Abdominal discomfort 
  • Nausea
  • Fainting 
  • Vomiting 
  • Diarrhoea 
  • A raspy voice 
  • Coughing 
  • Breathlessness
  • Light-headedness
  • Rapid heartbeat
  • Cardiac arrest (in rare cases)

The Sesame Seed Allergy Test from Apollo 24|7 is a quick and efficient way to diagnose these symptoms and start treating them.

A Sesame Seed Allergy Test quantifies the concentration of allergen-specific antibodies in a blood specimen. A sesame seed allergy's intensity varies from one person to another. The test provides numerical results for IgE antibody levels that indicate the severity of reaction in an individual.

When a Sesame Seed Allergy Test is positive, the patient should consult a doctor to determine the correct course of treatment. Treating a sesame seed allergy may be as simple as eliminating sesame seeds and related items from your diet. On rare occasions, the doctor might advise taking medications like corticosteroids or antihistamines.
