History, History, et: Specific allergens are sometimes very evident; itchy eyes around cut grass, hives with peanuts, wheezing around cats, anaphylaxis with insect sting. However other allergens such as molds, mites, cockroach, and foods are less obvious. A full history by an allergy specialist and if approprate skin testing for inhalants and/or injestants or in special situations blood tests can help identify causes.
