A member asked:
My son was diagnosed with peanut allergy via 2 skin tests. he's never had a reaction to pb though which he ate a lot of. could he really be allergic?

Allergy: Diagnosis of allergy requires a positive test either by blood or skin testing and a history of problem with that allergen. A challenge for peanut in your allergists office would be a way to confirm allergy or not.
