Joey King, best known for her role in the Netflix teen rom-com series The Kissing Booth, is allergic to pretty much everything. The actor shared on social media that she recently had an allergy test done.

Taking to Instagram, the 24-year-old American actor shared a picture of her taking the test on Friday (May 10). Check out below what the test is about and its results.

What is Joey King allergic to?

King shared a picture of the allergy test performed on her bare back which was red from fresh pokes and marked in orange. “Wanna hang out? I’ll bring the antihistamine,” she wrote along with the post.

To determine the cause of an allergy, potential allergy triggers are applied to the skin and observe how the skin reacts. The most common method to do this is the skin prick test. As per the National Library of Medicine (NIH), “In this test, the doctor puts drops of different watery solutions containing allergens (like pollen or trace amounts of animal hair) on various marked positions on your skin. Your skin is then pricked a little at each site so that the allergens can enter the skin. If you're allergic to the substance, your skin will react: On light-colored skin, the marked site will become red and a small bump (wheal) will appear.”

However, she was full at 17 and sad, “I don’t want to get graphic, but I spent way more time with the toilet than with my husband (on) that trip.” Now, we and King both guess why.
