# Squid

> This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in squid. It helps determine if your immune system is sensitized to this seafood, which is useful for investigating reactions like hives, swelling, or stomach upset after eating calamari. This measurement helps distinguish a specific reaction to squid from sensitivities to other shellfish, but it cannot diagnose an allergy or predict reaction severity without a doctor's review of your clinical history.
