Wow, so no needle pricks - only patch test? Where is your Dr.? - Name? Many Years ago, an allergist gave me 12 sheets of lists of brand products I COULD USE - soooo helpful. But, called Many allergist and they do not give out such a list. If I want to buy a product, they will test me on that product. Laborious. thx for info.

Please Google and study the 5 Day Extended Patch Test, the test kit patch panels are pricked, no big deal as I was so very motived to find a reason for my misery. Read about the True Test kit as I had 2 of their panels plus one other patch kit for a total of 78 allergens to be tested for. After testing my allergist registered me on the Contact Allergen Management Program, ACDS, CAMP site. This site is annually updated with my specific allergies and has hundreds of grooming, cleaning and other types of products that are free of my allergies. I put in my ID and the endless list goes on and on for over 20 plus pages. It's a good start for safe product research
My wonderful allergist is Brett Hronek MD in Springfield, MO, but he uses standard test kits you should be able to have available all throughout the country.
One of the chemicals I am allergic to is in most adhesives, yet I did not react to the adhesive on the patch panels, so the kit adhesive must be made free with chemicals in most adhesives.
