How can I find out the source of an allergy?!
Question: How can I find out the source of an allergy!?
I have never been allergic to anything ever but loaded with hives - I think they are - (raised itchy welts flesh pink colored) that isn't responding to typical itch creams or calamine!. Do doctors test for certain things on my arm or something!? Has anyone developed a new allergy later in life from something they never reacted to before!? What was the source!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
ya!. when you are around a thing for a long time your body can build up an allergy to it!.
heres how the doctors tested me:
they did this thing where they scratch you back with the allergen whatever one turns red and into a bump your allergic to
they gave me 22 shots under my skin with teh allergin and whatever ones turned into bumps i was allergic to!.
they can also take blood!. but if you think its a food allergy here is how you can test yourself:
take your pulse while relaxing!. eat a certain food you eat a lot!. 30 min after eating check your pulse again!. if it is raised 10 or more points you are probably allergic to that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yeah, you can go to an allergy doctor (you're regular doctor may even do it too) for a scratch test!. They put liquids of different types of allergens on your arms and slightly poke your arm to have the liquid contact the deeper skin!. (doesn't hurt) Then you wait 10-20 minutes and they check if there are any small hives on you arms!. That will be what you are allergic too!. The hardest part is to not itch your arms!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
