Food allergy is an adverse response to a particular food antigen, normally harmless to the healthy people, which is mediated by immunological mechanisms and arises in a person susceptible to that specific allergen. A skin prick test used to check the immediate allergic reactions to different allergens at once. The Information from allergy tests may facilitate doctors to develop an allergy treatment plan that includes allergen avoidance or immunotherapy.
