# Pear

> This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in pears. It helps show whether your immune system is sensitive to this fruit, which is useful if you experience symptoms like mouth itching or hives after eating it. This analysis aids in determining if pears are the specific cause of your reaction rather than other foods, but it cannot predict the severity of future allergic episodes on its own.
