- AllergiesThe Family Allergy Clinic & Wellness Center tests for environmental and food allergies via skin prick testing, also called scratch testing. Skin prick testing is the gold standard for allergy testing. This test is performed by using plastic applicators to prick the skin and determine whether or not an allergy exists. Grasses, weeds, trees, molds, pets, and insects are the most common allergens used in this type of testing. Typically, the tests are performed on the back or arms and takes about 20-30 minutes to perform.
