wo macht man einen allergietest — what does this mean exactly?

The question 'where does one get an allergy test' refers to medical allergy diagnostics. Allergy tests are typically performed by specialists (allergists, dermatologists, ENTs) or in certified laboratories. Common methods include the skin prick test, specific IgE blood test (RAST), or patch test. The MyBody-X tests described in the context analyze gut bacteria or DNA variants, which may only indirectly relate to allergy tendencies – they do not measure specific IgE or perform skin tests. Therefore, they are not allergy tests. If you suspect an allergy, consult a doctor for proper diagnosis. Direct-to-consumer tests can be misleading and should not replace medical evaluation. Evidence: practice (medical standard).
