Thought i had a reaction to watermelon, ate some yesterday (at hosp) to test. nothing at all. i was told no reaction means i am not allergic. right?

Yes, but...: As the saying goes, nothing in life is certain except death and taxes. An unlucky person not allergic to watermelon this week can develop some sort of allergy to it next week. There are also different types of watermelon, so it's possible that one variety of melon causes more problems than another.
