A member asked:
Can you tell me is the blood test for allergies the most accurate allergy test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The most accurate test is your clinical history. What actually happens to you when you get into this-and-that? Especially, don't assume you're safe to eat / inhale / keep as a pet something that seems to make you sick because of some bloodwork.
