HI!
MY SON IS 15 MONTHS OLD AND HAD THE BLOOD ALLERGY TESTING (I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS CALLED) FOLLOWING AN ANAPHYLACTIC REACTION TO PEANUT BUTTER. HE SHOWED A SLIGHT (1 I THINK) TO EGG WHITES, BUT HAD EATEN THEM SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL EATS THEM. hE HAS HAD NO SYMPTOMS, BUT I WATCH HIM VERY CAREFULLY IF HE EATS EGGS.

I think you can test positive on a rast and not show symptoms if the levels are low.... like a level 1. This shows a low amount of the antibodies towards the item.
