Rockstar's Allergy Test

Since Asia has an allergy to almost every nut, and had other allergies when she was younger, we figured it would be a good idea to have Gage tested for allergies as well. As it turns out, he tested a 4 (on a scale of 1-4) for a peanut allergy. Next year, he needs to have a blood test in May, then a recheck with skin testing in June.


Immediately after the scratch test. The left is environmental allergies, the right is food.


The control is the left reaction, the peanut is the right.



The final results.


Although he didn't like the test itself, he cheered up really fast.

I think he cheered up fast because he had your phone.
