# Oyster

> This test measures the amount of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in oysters. It helps show if your immune system is sensitive to this shellfish, which is useful for investigating symptoms like hives, swelling, or stomach upset after eating seafood. Results can help distinguish a potential oyster allergy from other types of food reactions or digestive problems. However, this test cannot predict exactly how severe a future allergic reaction might be or confirm a diagnosis without a clinical exam.
