A recent clinical trial reveals that adults with severe peanut allergies can be desensitised through a regimen of daily peanut flour exposure. Participants, aged 18 to 40, gradually increased their intake over several months and demonstrated the ability to consume up to five peanuts without adverse reactions. This study, the first of its kind, suggests that treatment options may extend into adulthood, providing hope for improved quality of life for those burdened by life-threatening allergic reactions. Previous success was noted in children but this trial expands the potential for adult patients.
"The findings suggest that the window of opportunity for treating allergies could extend into adulthood, raising the prospect of new treatments for those severely affected."
"Living with peanut allergy is a huge burden due to the need for constant vigilance and the risk of accidental exposures."
