I recently had a round of allergy skin testing, and was surprised to find out that they still did it the same way -- drawing a rough grid on the person's back with sharpie marker, numbering the rows, and then poking or injecting the allergens. Why not produce some slightly-sticky transparent sheets (like those used in surgery), only with numbered grids on them? Each square of the grid could have a small hole in it, for direct access to the skin. It would at least save them from having to draw the grid, and lower the risk that a reaction was matched to the wrong allergen.
