A member asked:
Are there any home allergy testing kits that can be bought that work just as well as allergy testing at docs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unfortunately no: It would be nice to have allergy testing that can be done at home. Unfortunately, no reliable test kits are available. The most reliable test is a skin test applied and interpreted by an allergist. Even specific ige blood tests can have "false negative" results. Igg blood tests are essentially useless.
