my specific IgE testing to molds was anaphylaxis not allergy.

hyper-sensitivity

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersensitivity

Allergy is a disorder of the immune system which is a form of

hypersensitivity

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allergy

I see a hudge difference here, not everyone with a allergy has a anaphylaxis

responce.

anaphylaxis was coined as a reaction to a toxin, called a allergy.

maybe just on the bases that it caused a IgE responce.

so basicly both a allergen and a toxin can produce a IgE responce.

that in no way makes them equal.

I see hudge flaws that have come from the blurring of the two.

> way would pin prick or stratch tests only show I had a allergy to cows and cat

while intradermal testing showed I had mutiple allergies to multiple molds,and

T.C.E. A toxin and other things that had mold involved like roaches, who eat

and poo mold, some trees, cut grass whic we know harbor molds and toxins.
