Allergy Test Results

I was tested for 32 potential allergens. I tested positive for 20 of them (63%). Below is a comprehensive list. In future posts, I will provide more detail on some of them that have implications on my treatment plan. 

I have also listed the allergens for which I did not test positive, because optimism.

The scores listed indicate a positive result. 1 is the lowest score and 6 is the highest score. A 2 or greater indicates a significant positive result.
