Your request stays private, and you choose where the specimen is collected. Because individual sites vary, double-check the lab's own guidance on preparation, timing, and cost.
What it measures
- Cherry-specific IgE — Antibodies that target cherry proteins; higher levels suggest sensitization.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody levels, sometimes used for context.
- Other fruit-specific IgE — Checks related fruits such as peach, apple, or plum that can cross-react.
- Pollen-specific IgE — Tree or grass pollen antibodies, since pollen allergies can overlap with fruit reactions.
Preparation
No fasting is needed. Tell your clinician about any medications, especially antihistamines, and about recent allergic reactions before the blood draw.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as antibody levels, often with a reference range or class score. A clinician interprets them alongside your symptoms and history, because a positive result alone does not confirm an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to stop eating cherries before the test?
Usually no. Follow your clinician's instructions; do not remove foods from your diet on your own, especially for a child.
How long does it take to get results?
Typical turnaround is 1 to 3 business days, though it can vary by lab.
Can this test tell me if I am truly allergic?
No. It shows sensitization, which is not the same as a clinical allergy. Your clinician makes that judgment.
What if my result is positive?
A positive result means antibodies were found. Your clinician will decide whether it fits your symptoms and what steps, if any, to take.
