Lindsey,
1. Regardless of whether the test exists, will the result make any significant difference to the way that you deal with the issue? There's no point doing a test that you're not going to act upon.
2. We can all invent or embellish urban myths. If they're so sure of this and you can't find any trace of it, put the onus on them to unearth the article. If they do come up with it, have a good look at it before you promise anything: back to point 1!

Subject: Re: Hi Vis workwear attracting wasps!
The issue of wasp stings is one for us as we have a lot of outdoor workers.
One query that has been raised recently is that some of our union guys are
convinced there is an allergy test for wasp stings that can tell you how
allergic you are. I have never heard of this. They are basing their claims
on a newspaper article that I have never been able to find. Does anyone
else know of such a test?
Thanks
