Australia starts world-first peanut allergy treatment for babies

Babies with peanut allergies in Australia will be offered treatment to build immunity to the potentially life-threatening condition, under a world-first programme.

Supervised by select paediatric hospitals, eligible babies will be given gradually increasing doses of peanut powder each day for at least two years, to reduce sensitivity.

Oral immunotherapy has been available in clinical trials and some specialist allergy centres around the globe, but this is the first time it has ever been adopted as a national model of care for peanut allergies.

Australia is often dubbed the "allergy capital of the world", with one in 10 infants diagnosed with food sensitivities.

So, not only is Australia the world leader in species that will kill you, now it’s the leader in allergies that will kill you.

 

Maybe humans weren’t supposed to colonise it in the first place.

Another example of mistreatment of Colonists (ahem, harrumph).

You imprisoned them, too, word has it.

Don’t blame us. We thought kangaroos were cute. No-one told us their real name.
