# Brazil Nut

> This test measures the level of IgE antibodies in your blood that react specifically to Brazil nuts. It helps show whether your immune system treats this tree nut as harmful, which is important if you have had reactions like hives or swelling after eating. By identifying this specific sensitivity, the test helps rule out other foods as the cause of your symptoms. However, a positive result indicates sensitization and does not predict the severity of a future allergic reaction on its own.
