I understand that zero exposure can be a key to outgrowing an allergy.
However, doesn't a skin prick test itself constitute an exposure?

So how can one know when they are allergy free (or close enough so that an occasional "may contain milk ingredients" product will not trigger a reaction)?

Thanks.
