Summary-By slowly exposing someone to something that they are allergic to you can make them tolerant of their allergy, this is called Clinical Immunology. There is now a drop that you can give to children (ages 6-11) that over time will cure their allergy to peanuts. This works by exposing the children to the peanut protein and getting their bodies slowly tolerant to it.
Questions
1-How could this really benefit people?
2-Why can only children do this?
3-Does this method work with just peanuts?
