# Tangerine

> This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in tangerines. It helps show whether your immune system views this fruit as a threat, which is useful for evaluating symptoms like mouth itching, hives, or stomach upset. This information helps distinguish a potential tangerine allergy from other food sensitivities or reactions to different citrus fruits. However, this test cannot diagnose an allergy on its own or predict how severe a future reaction might be.
