Peanut Allergy Relief For Adults?

 

Peanut allergy causes serious reactions, including death. 'Immunotherapy' has prove effective in children. Here, allergic children are given increasing daily dosages of peanut flour. This eventually prevents many of them developing full-blown allergic reactions. Successful treatment also reduces parental anxieties when eating out. Immunotherapy has now been tried on 21 adults, aged 18-40 years, all with a clinical diagnosis of peanut allergy. After treatment, 66% of the sample, were able to eat the equivalent of 5 peanuts without reacting  (https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/apr/24/daily-peanut-exposure-can-desensitise-allergic-adults-study-suggests). Although this is a very small study, its results are encouraging. Adults also need protection from peanut allergy. This is especially so, if they are likely to travel to Asia. Asian cooking can often use peanut oil.
