Allergy testing 2003 / 2007, wow!
I went for environment prick testing 2 weeks ago. Today they did higher concentrations Intradermal of what didn't react originally, and then 30 Food pricks.
The needles hurt a bit, but they now have the prick tests on 5 small needles molded together, so they all hit your skin at the same time. So doing 30 is in 6 of those things. 3 on each inner/lower arm. 2 weeks ago was 50, so another 4 on the outer/upper arms.
The list for environmental is pretty much the SAME in allergy reaction as it was on the Feb/Mar 2003 tests I had done, which was 1-2 months prior to starting LDN on 4/17/03. EXCEPT, no more trees? NO reaction from the trees or tree mix.
The FOOD tests! WOW! Maybe they used water? LOL. NO.
ONLY the histamine reacted. According to this batch of 30 pricks, only one reacted, the one that reacts on everyone, the control, the histamine. These tests say I am No Longer Allergic to food stuff?
This WAS my list from 2&3/2003:

02/01/03 +/- Beef
+1 Pork
02/04/03 +/- Lima Bean
+/- Alpha Lactalbumin
02/06/03 +1 Tuna

+3 Mites Df

This is my new list:
