I have quite a few allergies, but luckily none is food related (knock on
wood!!!). This I do know, I will never ever again subject myself to the
skin tests done to determine what those allergies are. That was pure
torture and more for me!! Luckily, some (most?) allergies can now be
determined with a simple blood sample (I think?!).

Sky, who's sick of (allergy) meds but without meds gets sick (allergies)
