Corn pollen allergies are more common in agricultural regions with extensive corn cultivation. The severity of symptoms varies among individuals.

This test detects IgE antibodies against corn protein, identifying allergic sensitivity to corn. Corn is a common food ingredient found in many products beyond fresh corn, including corn oil, cornmeal, and corn syrup.
