[quote=Anonymous]I had my 6 mo old’s blood drawn at JHH— legit she didn’t even flinch. Seriously, their phlebotomists are miracle workers (one toddler cried briefly with the other woman, another infant also didn’t cry) The scratch test is unpleasant for longer, my kiddo was super itchy and cranky. And you have to avoid any antihistamines ahead of time too. The blood test is also more quantitative, and less likely to be “false” positive. My kiddo was pan positive on the skin test but also gets angry (not quite dermatographia) welts from any scratch. Good luck. [/quote]
