Home allergy tests: The real deal, or complete quackery?

Afternoons with Helen Farmer

Thursday, 16 April 2026 - 52 minutes

There are growing concerns that the science behind many allergy tests just doesn’t stack up — and they could be sending people down the wrong path.

Plus, we learn about art therapy for children, and an app that motivates children to do chores around the house - in exchange for rewards.
