A minimal quantity of the substance that is presumed to cause an allergic reaction is applied either in the forearm or on the back and then the skin is scratched with a needle so that the allergen can penetrate into the skin layer. An allergic reaction is suspected if a wheal, or raised bump, forms.

- Patch Test: Largely incorporated to ascertain the contact dermatitis, the patch test is done by affixing a patch containing the allergen on the body for a period of time. Such tests enable the identification of the allergens to be avoided and inform this plan’s formulation.

- Avoidance: The best approach is to eliminate foods that it is well-known that the child is allergic to. This may mean reading labels to avoid potential food allergens, encasing pillows and mattresses with dust-mite-proof covers, and avoiding going outside when there is a high pollen count.
- Environmental Control: Examples are the introduction of air conditioners, low humidity, provision of dustless carpets and floor mats, vacuum cleaners, and proper disposal of pets.

Some of the effective measures include the installation of HEPA filters in air conditioning and vacuum cleaners and the use of allergen-proof bed covers, washing of clothes, beds, and pillow cases in hot water, the closing of windows.
The use of these, particularly during seasons when there is a high prevalence of pollen, elimination of indoor plants that are suspected to contain mold, and reducing humidity to a level that is not favorable for the growth of dust mites.
The steps that should be taken in an emergency action plan should include having an epinephrine auto-injector readily available.
