Do all allergists do desensitisation treatment for allergy and immunology problems?

Dr. Jeffrey Rumbyrt answered

They should!: Board certified allergists are trained to do desensitization treatments for a number of problems. The most common is for severe allergy problems to environmental allergens (pollen, animal danders, insect stings). However, many allergists can assist other doctors with medication desensitization (like antibiotics) as well.
