# Shrimp

> This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in shrimp. It helps show whether your immune system is sensitive to shrimp, which is useful for investigating symptoms like hives, swelling, or stomach issues after eating seafood. This measurement assists doctors in evaluating the likelihood of a shrimp allergy. However, the test cannot predict the severity of a future reaction or confirm a diagnosis without a review of your medical history.
