So recently I have developed really bad food allergies that are life threatening so i had to get some allergy testing done. They did the basics on me like grass and dogs and cats as a scratch test on my arm. the doc ordered the food allergy testing be done from blood testing due to the shock I go into..... below are the phases of the the scratch test. I was allergic to everything they put on me including the "control" salt... the nurse said she never had anyone allergic to salt before. lucky me.
5 min into the test and you can see the juces of the allergens on my skin still...
10 min in and I have one hive so big it looks like a boil.
end of test they put cortisone cream on me to alleviate the itch. i scored off the charts for size of welts. one took over 1/2 my wrist... good old grass. 
One hour hafter...
4 hours after
24 hours after.
I am allergic to asparagus, bananas, broccoli, salt, and most citrus fruits. I cant wait to find out what else... next thing you know ill be allergic to air.
