A member asked:
Can you have negative skin test for peanuts and pass the eating challenge and still be allergic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not expected: If you had a negative skin test to peanut and passed the challenge test, it would be highly unlikely for you to have an allergic reaction from eating the amount of peanuts used in the challenge. However one can never ruled newly developed allergy later although it is again rare.
