Answers:
Are you having a food allergy panel done or a skin irritant test!?
If it's the food panel (they take a sample of your blood and test hundreds of food that possibly causes a reaction) it can take several weeks!.
If it's a skin test (it takes a couple of hourse and you will lay on your stomach while a technician placing hundreds of needles on your back!. each needle contains a tiny amount of possible allergins, if you get a small bruise-like mark where the needle was, you are allergic to whatever was in the needle) you'll know sooner than the food panel!. I imagine they could tell you right awayWww@Answer-Health@Com

The results should be given as soon as the test is over for a skin test!. It is quite an uncomfortable test, particularly if you have allergies!. They performed mine on my back in a grid of about a hundred pin pricks!. The allergens have to sit on your back for a while for them to see if you have a reaction and how severe the reaction is!. The allergy will be rated on a scale of 0-4+ (based on the amount of swelling around the spot)!. !. !.0 being no allergy, 4+ being severe allergy!. Food allergies may take longer for results (as some people have noted), but I have never been tested for food allergies!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You get the results like 4 years after the test is done!.
At least in my town you do!.
We have to send the results by horseback though, so it's probably quicker where you live!Www@Answer-Health@Com
