The EATERS mnemonic is a novel method for taking an allergy focused clinical history. It
provides a degree of certainty for diagnosing food allergy and can be used in both IgE and
non IgE mediated reactions. EATERS will allow health care professionals to use their
existing clinical skills to interpret the history of an allergic reaction, and by doing so will help
to make sense of allergy test results.
