# Avocado

> This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in avocados. It helps determine if your immune system views avocado as a threat, which is useful if you experience symptoms like itching, swelling, or stomach upset after eating them. This testing helps distinguish a potential avocado allergy from other causes of food sensitivities. However, a positive result indicates sensitization and does not predict the exact severity of a future allergic reaction on its own.
