A member asked:
I believe i am allergic to carpet beetle larvae. is there a test to confirm this? i have read that clinical testing has confirmed for others.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, in principle : You will need to determine if you truly have carpet beetle infestation. Next you will need to present your allergy findingd to either your dermatologist and/or allergist.
