Have you ever had an allergy test?

The one where they inject things into your skin. Is it individual shots or do they do it all at once? What was your experience like?

My son had one when he was younger. They don’t inject you with anything. It’s a plastic thing that comes to a point and they put it on your skin. It’s very interesting to see it. It’s painless but causes some itching according to my son. I still have photos of it. These are from the internet though.

I had it done back in March.
I wouldn't say it's "painless." But its not painful. Depending on if you have thick skin or not, it could feel uncomfortable. The worse part to me was that it took them like 2 hours and I did feel itchy at some times.
If you can handle a shot in your arm, finger prick for blood, or giving blood in your arm... You can handle an allergy test.

Yep. As it turns out I am extremely allergic to pollen, pet dander, and stupid people.

Your name is boosiebadazz and you’re scared of the allergy test?

Yep. Found out I am allergic to lettuce. Like who the frick is allergic to lettuce? I still eat that shite though.
Also, deathly allergic to cats. Like they had to give me a shot immediately after poking me.

It was really interesting to watch the skin react. You could see patterns emerge where my son was more allergic to plants, pollens and ragweed.

It's more annoying than painful.

Yes, I had an allergy test and since then I have been taking allergy shots weekly. I did this shortly after having a septoplasty and it has been life changing for me. Before, my allergies were horrible and they were getting worse every year. Since then I have not taken a single prescription or OTC allergy pill, creme, nasal spray or eye drop.
As for the initial allergy test, it took about 30-45 minutes. They stuck me with 2 or 3 rounds of 10-15 "shots" per round, then I waited about 10-15 minutes between rounds. After the waiting period, they measured the size of the bumps on my skin from the "shots". I used quotes because it's not a real shot like you think. They barely even stick you. It only goes about 1-2mm deep (just barely enough to get under the skin) and I hardly even felt it. The worst part about it is that it itches a little and you can't scratch it.

Yes. It’s a board with needle on it that they press onto your arm. The worst part was shaving my forearm and how stupid it looked for a couple weeks.

It didn’t really hurt until they started sticking stuff up my dick hole. Good luck.

Once. Full panel across my back. Itched like frick, but it didn’t “hurt”.
Posted on 7/30/26 at 6:19 pm to Sofaking2
Yeah I was allergic to ragweed, cats, and something else but I cant remember.
Posted on 7/30/26 at 6:23 pm to boosiebadazz
