# Gum, Sweet

> This test measures the level of antibodies in your blood specifically produced in response to pollen from the Sweetgum tree. It helps determine if your immune system views this pollen as a threat, which can explain symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, or congestion. This information helps distinguish a Sweetgum allergy from reactions to other seasonal plants or environmental irritants. However, a positive result indicates sensitization and does not necessarily predict the severity of your allergic reactions.
