A member asked:

29yo. never had food allergy but recent skin test had some allergies. done for chronic hives. what r the chances of going into anaphylaxis now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Food allergy tests: If you never had anaphylaxis and you have been eating the positive foods regularly, the risk is low. You should not stop eating the foods. If it's a food you never eat, it could be higher. The size of the positive reaction also matters. Over 9 mm, there is more chance, but it's still highly unlikely if you have never had a severe reaction before. Try elimination diet for the hives though. May help
