    Allergists can work magic now with micro dosing. My kid’s peanut allergy is just gone.

    If you have the means and the desire, it’s called LDA (low dose allergen) therapy. It’s sometimes also called SLIT (sub-lingual immuno therapy). There’s probably differences. I’m not a doctor.

      I’m allergic to cucumbers and even if I just touch the flesh of a cucumber to my lips, my lips well up. I’m not sure how much less dosage I could give myself.

      Also it’s cucumber so who the hell cares anyway.

      would SLUT therapy work too? 🥺

      Fr though, I never liked most seafood, only the crab. If I can get most of the crab back I’ll be happy, I don’t see a need to pay for therapy for food I don’t really enjoy 90% of.
