# Peanut

> This test measures the level of specific IgE antibodies in your blood that react to peanut proteins. It helps show whether your immune system is sensitized to peanuts, which is useful for investigating symptoms like hives, swelling, or digestive issues after eating. This measurement assists in distinguishing a potential peanut allergy from other types of food reactions. However, a positive result only indicates sensitization and cannot predict the severity of a future allergic reaction on its own.
