Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Immunotherapy, also known as desensitization, has shown promise in reducing or eliminating a person's sensitivity to specific food allergens. This treatment involves gradually exposing the person to small amounts of the allergen, slowly increasing the dosage over time, to desensitize their immune system's response. It is currently being studied and used for various food allergies, including peanuts, milk, eggs, and fruit allergies such as peaches. Other options listed, such as dopamine injections, antihistamines, and epinephrine shots, may provide temporary relief of symptoms but do not address the underlying allergy sensitivity. Allergy shots (D) are a type of immunotherapy but are typically used for respiratory allergies and not recommended for food allergies.
