a physician (general practitioner) is not qualified to adjudge one's allergies. there are trained allergy specialists. the one i went to(one tends to outgrow allergies) had thousands of test samples available. any competent MD would only tell an allergy suffer to go to a trained allergist. they may recommend one. in the greater dc area, there are about 50 practicing specialists.
