11. It is called a RAST test and is really more of an ART than a science
The mold might be it. The only thing I would NOT go through, if they suggest it is what is known as a METHACHOLINE CHALLENGE TEST..this is a test where they INDUCE an allergic response and then treat it....it should ONLY be done as a LAST resort by a board certified pulmonologist. Also, make a list of what you ate leading up to the incident and check ALL your meds. Even aspirin over the counter pain relievers can cause this over time (even if you didn't have the response in the past)
