the apple and the tree

I went for allergy testing myself yesterday.
Here are the results:
+control
+alder (tree)
++rabbit
++cat
+++ house dust
++++ grass mix A
++++ grass mix B

Apparently you're not supposed to take antihistamines for a full week before testing. I took my last one 48 hours prior.
24hours have elapsed and the grass points are still tender. Wonder how itchy I'd be had I not taken them for the full week prior?
then again, I've had hives so often (exercise-induced cold urticaria or something like that) that I'm almost immune to itchiness.
