Majority Of Food Allergy Sufferers Don’t Know You Can Avoid Shots

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/8YtIcbsg2ls   Seventy-two percent of adults and parents of children with food allergies are unaware that oral immunotherapy is an effective, painless, and convenient alternative to allergy shots.  This the conclusion of a nationwide survey of some 781 respondents conducted by pediatric researchers at Northwestern University and Chicago’s Lurie Children’s Hospital.   When the survey numbers were crunched, the data showed that more than 95% of food allergy sufferers had never been offered oral immunotherapy.  We’re not talking about small number of people either since 10% of American adults or 33,100,000 adults and 8% of children or 5,040,000 kids have food allergies.   So if you have food allergies or, for that matter, any allergies, ask your allergist about oral immunotherapy.  It can be DIY at home without needles or visits.   https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2213219821008229?via%3Dihub   #allergy #oralimmunotherapy #oit #foodallergy
