# Salmon

> This test measures specific IgE antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in salmon. It helps show whether your immune system views salmon as a harmful invader, which is useful if you experience symptoms like hives, swelling, or digestive issues after eating fish. By detecting these antibodies, the test helps distinguish a potential food allergy from other types of food sensitivities. However, it cannot predict the severity of an allergic reaction or diagnose food intolerance on its own.
