And alongside this, a whole science has grown up around oral immunotherapy.

So this is something that, frustratingly, certainly from the NHS side of things, was quite a brief dalliance, because about three or four years ago, something called Palforzia, which was an oral immunotherapy treatment for peanuts, got nice approval, but never really got traction because of the cost of introducing it, and the company then withdrew support for the product, not because of any safety or effectiveness concerns, but simply because of the low level of uptake.

And so that's now sort of disappeared off the NHS menu for people specifically with peanut allergy.

So the idea is, is we give the, the child who has a peanut allergy small but increasing amounts of peanut in carefully controlled settings in order to make them less sensitive.

Yes, there is only one FDA-approved treatment that attempts to proactively address the allergy itself, and it is a peanut-specific oral immunotherapy.

Palforzia, right? I've read a bit about that, but from what I understand, it is incredibly burdensome.

Oh, it is a massive undertaking.

It requires daily, rigorous dosing.
