Macadamia Nut

This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in macadamia nuts. It helps determine if your immune system views these nuts as harmful, which is useful for investigating symptoms like hives, swelling, or breathing trouble after eating them. This testing helps distinguish a potential allergy to macadamia nuts from sensitivities to other tree nuts or foods. However, a positive result does not predict exactly how severe a future allergic reaction might be.
