They inject small amounts of allergens under the skin. Then watch for an allergic reaction. This way they can prepare allergy shots that target those things that you are allergic to. My son and husband got allergy shots for years. It helped them both immensely.

doctors do a series of little injections of many things to see which ones you have a reaction to. If reactions occur, you have allergies. They then give you something to get rid of the reaction, in other words, a pill or another injection.

they injest you with the antigen of the paerticular allergin to see if how your body reacts. if their is a certain reaction and your body has a certain amount of antibodies then you have an sllergy for that particular antigen. if no antibodies then you do not. therefore they know how to treat you.

They prick your skin with suspected allergens to see if you have a reaction that indicates you are allergic.
