I wish they had mentioned the component test which also gives us an idea of severity.
I had heard of this once before, actually. I'm trying to remember where, but it went into more detail. If I can find the link I'l post it here.
What I think differentiates this from the component test, was that the I heard the component test could only be used to peanut and brazil nut. This would cover everything, I think?
I ran across this. I am sick and am feeling light-headed, but this seems to suggest that they can see the proteins of others. But I don't know about actual component testing for other allergens.

This sounds even more accurate than the component test.
Wonder what the cost is and how many insurance companies will balk..
I wonder the cost comparison. Food challenge and this test.
I wonder if schools will request it. ~)
