Hi, This is so very timely! I just got a allergy skin test yesterday for animals and in the doctor's words it was "negative" - however my irritated eyes would disagree - and the fate of the guinea pig in my living room is hanging in the balance.

Given the number of google results for this it would be great if you discussed how a skin response could be different than a sinus/eye response...

Also, in the section for the at home blood test - i'd be interested in understanding how blood test differ from a skin test and if it's less subjective. While I have a hive response to bee I don't have any to dog... does the blood test give me specific #'s on this spectrum? Do you use these as inputs to provide an appropriate dose of that allergen, or are all starting doeses very low.

How does this work for something like a severe bee alergy?

Given the complexity of allergies and the numerous ways they have symptoms, it would be great if you discussed how immunotherpy can help individual symptoms. Perhaps your UX could have a journey that the customer goes down. What are you alergic to? Where do you see symptoms? How bad are they? -> here's our recommedation and research that backs up why this will work for you.
