How Is Allergy Testing Done?
Hello/Good Morning. I am very nervous this morning. I am going for allergy testing. I had done a very limited amount of testing (specific venoms/stinging insects in the mid 70 s). I had a very severe reaction to the testing. Has the procedures change? How is the testing actually being done?
