Do you think peanut immunotherapy will be the norm in the future?

I haven't done enough research about this but have know there are quite a few clinical trials for peanut allergy. I started shots about a year ago for environmental / pet allergies and it has done wonders...always thought it would be amazing if they could do the same for food allergies. For me, it would be so much better than giving medicine to my daughter every day.

I don't expect this in [b]my[/b] future - possibly in other peoples.

I'm a bit confused by your post. Why does your daughter need medicine every day?
