And the controls that we use are saline, which is salt water.
Nobody is allergic to that.
And histamine, which is the body's allergic chemical.
So we prick you.
And when I say prick, I mean we clean off the forearm.
And then we use tiny needles to introduce just under the surface of the skin saline, histamine, and our penicillin reagents.
So it's four small pricks under the surface of the skin.
If you are allergic, we would expect that where we pricked you with the saline, nothing would happen.
Where we pricked you with the histamine, you'll get a red itchy bump.
And where we prick you with the penicillin, you will also get a red itchy bump.
That's considered a positive test.
We say you've tested positive for penicillin allergy.
That's it.
Go home.
Continue to avoid penicillins.
If it's negative, we go on and do the intradermal test, which hurts a little bit more.
We're using the same reagents and we're putting them just under the surface of the skin.
And again, we look to see, did those bumps get any bigger during the waiting period?
And we're comparing them again against saline.
If that test is positive, again, you go home.
