Erfan, this is dangerous advice. It is perfectly possible that Skyy
could do exactly what you suggest, and see no *visible* reaction at
all. Many people don't get such a reaction, which is precisely why
PPD black henna paste has been so successful.
The problem is a) that a few people *do* get a serious visible
reaction, and some are left permanently scarred, and b) that even
those who don't get a visible reaction are risking internal organ
damage by the PPD which makes its way through the skin and into the
blood stream.
I am in the process of re-writing the warning page to say that even a
skin test is unsafe with PPD. I'll put up a post as soon as it is
ready so that those of you who carry printed copies can update them.
