[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 74813, member: 3419"] I don't think that one mosquito-size bump is worth calling the dr. for. Wow, between Skeeter and Marg, you've got it covered! We did skin testing with-my difficult child a few mo's ago. This dr does not do it on people's backs because of severe allergic reactions... it's safer to do it on arms. Yes, they always incl. a test past to make sure you/they are not allergic to anything basic they use -- alcohol, who knows what they put these things in. My difficult child did an elimination diet with-red dye for about 3 wks, and when the time came to put a drop of red food coloring under his tongue, he freaked. "Okay, okay, I'm allergic! Don't do it!" It was pretty funny. I only feared that red dye would make him angry and hyper. He feared he'd pass out! The hard part about an elimination diet is making sure the kids don't cheat. They have parties and treats at school, and even the best kid will forget. I agree with-Skeeter, that skin tests don't necessarily indicate behavioral allergies. In fact, some doctors don't even believe they exist! The best way is through an elimnination diet with-a food diary. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
