Cotton Seed Allergy Test

This IgE allergy test uses a blood sample to determine if you are allergic to Cotton seed or cotton seed oil.

The cotton seed consists of two parts: the hull, from which the staple cotton lint comes from, and the kernel, from which the oil and meal are obtained. The fiber is the best known cotton product, parts of the plant are edible and are commonly used as foods.

Cotton seed flour is sometimes used in food supplements, breads and candies. The cooked and toasted flour is used as a coloring agent in food products, and the hulls serve as roughage for cattle. Cotton seed oil is edible and fairly bland, as such it is commonly mixed with other oils, like olive oil to make it cheaper.

Hydrogenated cotton seed oil, cotton seed oil, cotton seed acid, cotton seed glyceride, and hydrogenated cotton seed glyceride are cosmetic ingredients that are derived from cotton seed oil, and are used as skin-conditioning agents and surfactants.

Traditional allergy tests utilize the Skin Prick method (also known as a Puncture or Scratch test) to determine whether an allergic reaction will occur by inserting possible triggers into your skin using a needle prick. If you are allergic to the substance, you are forced to suffer through your body's reaction to the allergen. HealthLabs.com offers an easier, virtually pain-free blood test to determine the allergen status of substances without the irritation of traditional skin prick tests.
