# Fire Ant (Invicta)

> This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to fire ant venom. It helps determine if your immune system is sensitized to these ants, which is important if you have experienced severe swelling or breathing issues after a sting. This information helps distinguish a potential allergy from a normal skin irritation caused by a bite. However, this test alone cannot predict the severity of future reactions or confirm a diagnosis without a review of your clinical history.
