Ask Me ? asked:

I teach 10th grade english, there is one boy in my class who is always, always, always sick. He comes in literally coughing, sneezing and looking worn out everyday. It is a distracting my class when he coughs like bronchial coughs and gets up every 5 minutes to get a tissue. I understand its flu season and allergy season but is there anything I can do? His sickness always causes him to sleep and snore during my class and sometimes miss it too. He’s in 10th grade so Im not sure about calling the parents. Have you ever had this before?

How reliable are home allergy tests?

dmuldawer asked:

Hi. I’ve been diagnosed with multiple allergies and have undergone treatment (shots and meds) for years. My last skin test was in mid-November and it showed me having allergies to cats, ragweed, and juniper trees, among other things.

The biggie for me is cats since all my friends, parents, and siblings have them. Kind of hard to catsit when your nose is imitating a volcano!

Anyway, to track the progress of my allergy shots, I ordered a home test called “My Allergy Test.” The blood sample was taken by a professional, so that shouldn’t have been an issue and the sample was processed in a timely manner. Yet all tests, including the ones for cats, ragweed, and juniper came back negative.

What I was wondering is:

A) How reliable these tests are
B) If sunlight and heat could’ve damaged the sample while in the mail
C) If it’s possible for allergic levels to drop from high to zero in six months.

I’m still sneezing around the kitties, so what’s your take?
