Pecan Nut

This test measures the amount of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in pecans. It helps show whether your immune system is sensitive to this specific tree nut, which is useful if you experience symptoms like hives or swelling after eating. Results from this test help doctors distinguish a potential pecan allergy from sensitivities to other foods. However, this test cannot predict how severe a future reaction might be or diagnose an allergy without a full medical evaluation.
