Allergy testing is an important part of your child’s allergy assessment. It is commonly performed on individuals who have asthma, hay fever, insect sting allergies or food reactions. Allergy Blood tests Blood tests are also used to evaluate a food allergy. If a patient is allergic to a specific food, Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies are formed to these specific allergens... Skin prick tests A small droplet of allergen extract (protein) is placed onto the skin (usually the forearm or shin of child), and a tiny “prick” is made through the skin using a small needle (lancet) through the drop.
