Allergen, Individual - Food Lamb

Lamb, a common type of red meat, is a staple in many diets worldwide. However, for some, consuming lamb can trigger allergic reactions due to an immune response against proteins present in lamb. These reactions can range from mild to severe and, in some cases, can be life-threatening. That's where the Allergen, Individual - Food Lamb test comes into play.
