# Cashew Nut

> This test measures the amount of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in cashew nuts. It helps show whether your immune system views cashews as harmful, which is useful for investigating symptoms like hives, swelling, or breathing trouble after eating nuts. This testing aids in distinguishing a potential cashew allergy from other food sensitivities or reactions to different tree nuts. However, a positive result alone cannot predict the severity of a future allergic reaction.
