are you insane? some allergies can straight up kill you if you aren't brought immediataly in a hospital (or have adrenaline in your fridge), especially the shellfish OP was talking about, there's no trial and error in some occasions

not true at all, besides the cost which would be much higher if you wanted to the test the igE of a wide array of allergens but even then it wouldn't prove 100% that you are allergic, you have to do the prick test

nope, some allergies trigger in a different way and the way to test them is with this "patch test", more annoying than the "prick test" that you did for sure but it's the only way, usually it's used for allergies to metals like nichel for example
