Yes! I don't remember all that it found for me, but I do remember grass because I was upset I wouldn't get to be outside. 😄
I’ve never actually looked at the dang thing. 🤓 Did you have allergy shots as a kid?

Apparently my back lights up like a Christmas tree. I know they do like 3 dozen at a time.

Surprisingly no. The grass and pollen is usually around seasonal swings, so just take over the counter allergy medication worked.

The other main ones were cats and dust. So we just stopped me from going to friends houses with cats and I got out if dusting at home as a chore! 🥳
 
It was painful!
I've had that needle test a few times and hated it.
The best allergy treatment I ever got was in the late 90s. That allergist drew my blood and gave me vials of drops to put under my tongue each day (in lieu of shots).
I did better with that than I ever did with the shots, but my insurance stopped covering it, making it cost prohibitive.
What's worst of all with the needle test is the itching. I hated that.

If I could afford wood floors and get rid of carpet, I am certain that would help with dust allergies.
That's also one of my "biggies" in terms of allergies.

My brother got shots twice a week.

I remember once he went into some kind of episode. His arms and hands went into weird positions, his fingers wouldn't bend, and his legs wouldn't bend enough to stay up on the coach. He was hyperventilating, and I swear to God, the movie Seems Like Old Times taught me to get a lunch bag for him to breath into until it got better.
 
For about $400 in tools you can lay hardwood.
We've looked into it, but we have a split level with a fully-finished basement. The only part that isn't carpet is the kitchen and dining room. The house both floors is about 3200 finished sf. I'd say we would need floors for 2800 sf. I want to do it all or just leave it alone. The worst part is the Berber (sp?) in the basement. I hate that stuff.

Basement is a different deal. You would want maybe tile down there. Any thing on a sub floor can the 3/4 nails own. Tile is much easier than hardwood to do "OK". Fancy tile takes a pro or ton of patience.
