Hello,

A common type of food allergy test is the skin prick test (or SPT). For this kind of test, an allergist injects tiny doses of food on a small area of your skin.

You're then monitored for signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives. However, the skin prick test isn't the only way food allergy testing is done. Telecast has side effects like sleeping, fatigue, dry mouth etc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
