# Gerbil Epithelium

> This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in gerbil skin and dander. It helps show whether your immune system is sensitive to these animals, which is useful if you experience sneezing, itching, or breathing issues after handling them. While this helps identify if gerbils are a likely cause of your symptoms, the test result alone cannot predict exactly how severe an allergic reaction will be.
