My peanut allergy nearly killed me – now I eat them every day for breakfast

That is sort of the height of irony -- this fellow has never enjoyed peanuts; never wanted to eat them; but the extreme danger drew him into this trial, and after it has ended, he is essentially condemned to consuming 4 peanuts every day for breakfast, just to keep up tolerance, even though he hates the stuff and would never have willingly ingested them at all!

A handful of peanuts a day to avoid dying in the event of (accidental, inadvertent) exposure sounds like a pretty good deal! I think that's the value here:

> "It's a wonderful feeling," Chris says. "I'm no longer afraid of dying."

This seems like PR for a new study.

OIT for peanut allergies isn't new. The article suggests it's new for adults.

There was an extensive discussion about OIT for children 9 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41116238

My son was part of a milk desensitisation trial at a London university - at the start of the trial he went in to anaphylaxis after 0.6ml (total) of cows milk hidden small portions of rice milk (so that we and the doctor didn't know how much he was having until after he had reacted).

It was pretty scary but the rest of the trial was a success and by the end of the trial he reached 120ml of milk before anaphylaxis. He now has two small pots of yoghurt a day and can finally eat 'may contain milk' products - which opened up loads of food to him.

He likes the yoghurt and in theory could now progress onto other milk based products for his daily doses, but similar to the comment below regarding peanuts, he doesn't actually like drinking cows milk, or eating cows milk cheese or chocolate.

Brilliant to see this is working well in adults, he has other allergies too, so hoping we can get more of these under control through desensitisation, opening up more food to him and derisking daily life.

I'm taking immunotherapy drops (SLIT) for dust mites for more than 6 years and having less sinus infections and stuffy nose. After a second skin test, wheals for both dust mite and mold have shrunk. I hope we get more products that desensitize us to multiple allergens, and its dirt cheap and OTC for children and dont need refrigeration.
