A member asked:
I would like to know everything i'm allergic to. should i get the blood test or the skin test?

Do you have any: Symptoms of allergy? If you do not, what is prompting you to think of getting tested? Blood tests or skin tests are just tests and it is not prudent to treat test results but the person. Please have a discussion with your doctor.
