I have seen in an american allergy website a thread on this treatment.
Which has moved from a treatement for envrionmental allergies, to food allergies.

This treatment is like the ones given for environmental allergies, a course of injections at a clinic, only the drugs are placed in drops under the tongue.

My son is under the care of a well respected immunologist here, and I have never heard of this treatment.
However the american web site claim that it is a well used treatment here and in france.

I have never heard of it, nor understand how it works< does any one else ?
curious as always, as thought I was pretty informed about allergy treatments.
