Once again, new research has suggested the way to treat a peanut allergy is to expose small amounts of peanut protein to the sufferer over a period of time to increase tolerance.
People with peanut allergy were given small doses daily for more than a year. This was given in clinic environment under medical supervision and should not be tried at home.
At the end of the study the test subjects who responded to treatment could tolerate 285 times more peanut protein than previous (this is only equivalent to 6 peanuts, and not in the form of an actual peanut).
