What can i do if my son is 2 years and has a nut allergy. can this allergy be cured by immunotherapy?

See below: The jury is out on this one. My daughter has a peanut allergy. There are programs in my state to desensitize her with minute doses of peanut dust, but the studies are not yet definitive. I would suggest caution, carry an epi-pen and educate your child on foods to avoid. If you can get the school on board this will make your life easier. Good luck.
