Do your children suffer from food allergies? Then read on…

As parents, you naturally worry about your children’s well-being. This is why allergies such as cow’s milk protein allergy can cause so much distress to both parents and children, with symptoms including skin rashes, vomiting and diarrhoea. Up to now, the problem with treating allergies has been that the cure was worse than the disease – or that quite simply no effective treatment existed.  A little look on http://www.dbv-technologies.com/ should give renewed hope to those suffering from this condition. Solutions are currently being developed specifically to deal with peanut and cow’s milk allergies – for more information, just consult this page.  The secret behind these new approaches is contained in two words – epicutaneous patch. This is a simple patch that’s stuck to the skin of the allergy sufferer. It delivers a controlled dose of an immunoactive compound (essentially the protein or antigen that is causing the allergic reaction in your body) to the body’s immune system. The idea behind this is that the body will become used to the antigen and no longer react so violently towards it. The dose of antigens can be adjusted and quantities are very small (being measured in micrograms). Best of all, the patch is totally painless to use.
