Response:
Please don’t use this method yourself, it’s not safe (infection) and isn’t really the proper way to test for various allergies. Plus, TS is NOT caused by allergies, although some people’s have tics that are affected by certain allergies (mold, spores, etc) or reactions to foods that contain caffiene, sugar, additives and ‘fake’ ingredients. PLEASE let a doctor guide you for treatment. Several people here will jump in and provide you with links where you can learn more about TS. PS – Are you diabetic? Tell us more about yourself??
