What is the difference between blood allergy testing and skin allergy tests?
In a blood allergy test, an individuals blood is taken and all allergens are tested against the individuals blood, out of their body. Not only does this eliminate the risk of an individual being exposed to a potentially life threatening allergy, it is also beneficial to someone with skin sensitivities. To clairify…This process eliminates the worry of the body reacting to an allergen and going into anaphylactic shock, which is life threatening. Not only is blood allergy testing safer, it also provides us with a more accurate reading. Blood allergy tests not only tell us what you are allergic to but to what degree. This way you know whether to limit your intake of that item or eliminate it all-together from your diet for optimal health.
