Yellow Jacket

This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to yellow jacket venom. It helps show if your immune system is hypersensitive to this insect, which is important if you have experienced significant swelling or reactions after a sting. Results from this test help doctors distinguish a potential yellow jacket allergy from reactions to other stinging insects like bees or wasps. However, this test alone cannot predict exactly how severe a future reaction will be.
