# Thyme

> This test measures the level of IgE antibodies in your blood that react specifically to thyme. It helps determine if your immune system treats this herb as a harmful invader, which can explain symptoms like hives, itching, or breathing trouble after eating seasoned foods. This testing helps distinguish a potential allergy from general digestive sensitivities. However, a positive result does not predict the severity of a future reaction or diagnose food intolerances that do not involve the immune system.
