[quote=Anonymous]DS has peanut and multiple nut allergies. He wants to travel in southeast asia with friends and peanuts and other nuts are prevalent in the foods and there will be a language barrier. He said his allergist (at college, I’ve never met the doctor) told him that he can get a shot that temporarily de-sensitizes one so that they will still be allergic to peanuts but less likely to have an anaphylactic reaction. Obviously one would still carry an epi pen and need to take precautions. The allergist said this could be a good idea before the trip. I have never heard of this - has anyone else? Obviously we will discuss it with a doctor but I wanted to crowd source because I don’t want DS to get his hopes up - after years of visiting the allergist with DS no one has ever said this to us so I am suspicious.
