[BONUS] Reef balls and peanut allergy immunotherapy: Tiny Show and Tell Us #43

from Tiny Matters

In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, we explore a listener's experience with peanut allergy immunotherapy — what it is, how the therapy works, and the odd and fascinating history of allergy treatments, including a 19th‑century scientist who shoved grass pollen up his own nose. Then we chat about “reef balls” made of oyster shells and concrete. These mini artificial reefs are being used to restore marine habitats and, in some cases, also hold cremated remains.Check out Simple and Clean here or wherever you listen to podcasts!We need your stories — they're what make these bonus episodes possible!
