# Almond

> This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in almonds. It helps show whether your immune system views almonds as harmful, which is useful if you experience symptoms like hives, swelling, or stomach trouble after eating nuts. This measurement helps doctors distinguish a potential almond allergy from sensitivities to other foods. However, a positive result cannot predict exactly how severe an allergic reaction will be if you eat almonds.
