A member asked:
Is it possible to get allergy desensitization / immunotherapy shots for food allergies?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: There are no injection protocols for desensitization to foods. Oral desensitization is being carried out at several research centers, but is not ready for general clinical use at this time.
