I am definately no expert, but reading abouy allergic load is fascinating. I think the general idea is you have a pitcher of allergies, when it gets full you see a reaction. So while in many cases you may never see a response, with enough allergies in play, you might have a more severe reaction to an item than normal if you are overloaded, this doesnt only apply to food and or pollens, but also potentially airborne chemicals (i mean we probably are pumping a variety of new things in the atmosphere i would guess) i find allergies and why we have them fascinating(i Am also allergic to tons of stuff, but hardly notice a reaction except to peanuts and other nuts. Out of 80 items i wasnt allergic to lobster, chicken,and bananas, random i know). I also wonder if your allergic load is high, you might show a reaction for something that you normally dont have a reaction to in a skin test... i would love to experiment.... hahahaha
