Practice makes perfect

U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Taryn Mendoza, right, practices an allergy skin test on Staff Sgt. Cherie Gregory, left, both allergy and immunization technicians with the 35th Medical Operations Squadron, at Misawa Air Base, Japan, Jan. 14, 2016. Skin tests are performed on a patient’s back or forearm with a drop of a suspected allergen pricked or scratched on the surface of the skin. Many suspected allergens are tested at the same time. If the patient is allergic to one of the tests, a redness and swelling will appear at the test spot. Mendoza is from Pocatello, Idaho, and Gregory is a Tampa Bay, Florida, native.
