Well, that certainly sounds like a better way to do it. It has been at least 7 or 8 years since I had any allergy tests, time to update. Oh, I love honey, I hope that doesn't happen down the road. I have been thinking I can use the wheat germ for most of the things I used nuts for, it is kind of nutty tasting and maybe some flaxseed, well I don't know about that one. Gee I bet I cannot eat sesame seeds and sunflower seeds, because of the cross contamination on the machinery that produces the products. I don't know, I assume there are places to buy those things that are cleaner so to speak, but, maybe I will just stay from all of them, no use tempting fate. My last allergy testing says I am allergic to trees, pollen, weeds, grasses, mold, there is very, very, long list there, but, no

nuts on there. I was cleaning my kitchen cupboard out tonight and I found a half open bag of peanuts in the back, and I picked it up and threw it away, I started getting sick a little while later, geez this is not to nice. I scrubbed out the cupboard and anything I touched with soap and water and a little bleach. I was fine until I touched that little bag, didn't think, I was so busy, guess I better be more careful.

On my last skin test that I had, they didnt even use an actual needle...it was relatively painless! They have what looks like lancets that they use for diabetes sugar testing and theres a drop of the specific allergen in it. They touched it to my skin enough to feel a minute prick (kind of like a pin stick or needle stick for those who sew). That was it...then we waited for any reaction or lack thereof.

Willow, has sworn by honey for years and years to help him with colds and allergies. About a year and a half ago after he would eat honey butter in restaurants, sometimes he noticed some dry heaves. At first it was a once in a while thing...but then it got to be every time he ate honey. I finally convinced him to stop eating raw honey and go tell his doctor. The doc prescribed him some antihistamine and told him the same thing I did....that he is allergic to the honey now. You arent alone....:-)
