# Lobster

> This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in lobster. It helps show whether your immune system is sensitized to this crustacean, which is useful if you experience hives, swelling, or digestive issues after eating seafood. This measurement helps distinguish a reaction to lobster from other food sensitivities or conditions. However, the test cannot predict the severity of a future allergic reaction or confirm a diagnosis without a doctor reviewing your clinical history.
