# Wasp, Paper

> This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to venom from a paper wasp. It helps determine if your immune system is overly sensitive to this insect, which is useful if you have experienced significant swelling or trouble breathing after a sting. This information helps distinguish a paper wasp allergy from reactions caused by other stinging insects. However, the test cannot predict exactly how severe a future reaction will be based on the antibody levels alone.
