Patients labeled as penicillin allergic, rarely have this confirmed and being labeled as "penicillin allergic" is associated with increased health care costs, adverse effects and antibiotic resistance. The investigators will recruit participants from primary care practices labeled as penicillin allergic and offer allergy testing. The aim of this study is to develop a community, outpatient program for evaluation of penicillin allergy.
