Skin Testing Reactions   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #2104 of 2395 |
Hello everyone. I hope everyone had an insect free 4th of July. I know
I sure was going out of my mind with my son running around watching the
fireworks and we were only on the back porch. I have a question about
possible reactions to skin testing. My son has an appointment this
Friday to have the skin testing done for fire ants and yellow jackets.
His allergist has assured me that they can handle any emergencies and I
am sure they can. I am just the type of person that if I know in
advance what could happen I handle things better. I have always been a
patient and calm person in an emergency until last year when my son was
bit. Now I am defineatly not that way. I have been reading all the past
posts but I do not think I have come across anyone with reactions to
the skin testing. Thank you for your help.

Have a great day!
~Lisa
