I just did this and if anyone is here and is worried for their appointment don’t be! It’s not bad at all and mine was really really quick. It doesn’t hurt. Just tickles a bit. Only part that hurt very minimally was taking off the stickers and it wasn’t that bad if u ask to do it fast!

Imagine you think the nurse is drawing the grid on your back to do the test but in reality they're just playing tic tac toe.

Do the allergens enter the bloodstream- or lymph system? It must since your skin could react a while after the allergens are removed-- so it must have been circulating systemically--?

Concerned as jobs require exercise and have hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
