DD was stung in 2016 by a "bee". She had a mild systemic reaction that could totally been missed by someone who wasn't familiar with allergies. We also were not 100% sure it was an allergic reaction or physiologic response to pain. So waited the appropriate amount of time after sting and she was tested. Intradermal testing showed nothing, so allergist really didn't think it was an allergy, but ordered the blood test anyway. Allergist called back with results and said yes, she is allergic. So after 5 years of allergy shots, DD is ready to be done. Saw the allergist in December and she said you need to get a blood test to see if you can stop. Blood test results come back and the message was Yes, you are still positive. DD tells me, I tell her to call back and ask for the blood test number for now and the original test. So here they are
To be considered no allergy the number needs to be less than 0.01
OLD NEW
Honeybee 0.27 no allergy
Whitefaced hornet 0.44 2.65
Yellow jacket 1.83 2.87
wasp 5.66 5.87
yellow hornet 0.4 1.59
So what on earth happened? Is she just one of the unlucky 3% that allergy shots didn't work for?
