Will I need a blood test?

Question

I'm 13 years old and my nose is always stuffy, like I clear it and in 2 seconds it's stuffy again! So we are going to the doctors to get allergy testing, I already have seasonal allegies. Will I need a blood test? or any needles?

Answer 1

You probably won't need a blood test (RAST). The ski tests are done with very tiny needles that feel like mosquito bites. If you end up on allergy shots there will be needles but we use very thin ones like the ones diabetics use.
