How long does an allergy test usually take?
I have to go for an allergy test tomorrow morning at 9:30. They are doing the arm test, not the back test. How long do these tests usually take, assuming they do find something you’re allergic to?

Best answer:

Answer by That
The back test usually takes a couple hours. The arm test takes about 15 minutes to set up, a couple minutes to administer and 15 more minutes of waiting to see if anything shows up. Depending on what shows up (how many positives you have) will determine what they want to do. Inhalant allergies - they usally recommend allergy shots
Food/latex/work exposure allergies - avoidance
I’d say you’ll be there about an hour.
