I am going to get back to my tradition of posting interesting links I have stumbled on this week at the end of each week. Enjoy!By far, my favorite story of the week is this:
Dr. Burks (a.k.a.) as "my hero" is now predicting a treatment for PA will be available to everyone in 2 or 3 years (instead of the 5 years he predicted last year) in a NY Times article this week. Yeah!!
A video that talks about the desensitization that includes an interview with Dr. Burks.
The desensitization was the talk of a meeting on Wednesday at the Academy of Asthma and Immunology meeting.
In other news:
A new study shows that African American children are at a higher risk for food allergies.
A great article on one parent's struggle to keep her son safe while dealing with multiple food allergies on CNN.
An article by a mom on what it is like to interrogate the preparers of our children's food to keep them safe.
Peanut sniffing dogs are showing a lot of promise to protect the severely allergic. Too bad my hubby is very allergic to dogs!
