Skin test panel for tree nuts
No reaction to any tree nuts
half of a cashew
Negative results!
Because I made it to 100 mgs and "tested out" of cashews for the SAFAR study, we wanted to see how far I could exceed that 100 mgs. We started off with a skin test and I tested completely negative for all tree nuts, including cashews. By the end of the day I had eaten around 3 cashews with no reaction. Looks like my study will only include peanuts.
All four food challenges are officially over, and to begin actual desensitization, I will receive the first of three injections of the drug Xolair this coming Wednesday. I can't wait to start!
