The animal model provides a new research tool that will be invaluable in furthering the understanding of the causes of peanut and other food allergies and in finding new ways to treat and prevent their occurrence, according to experts at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that funded the research. Peanut allergy is of great public health interest because this food allergy is the one most often associated with life-threatening allergic reactions, resulting in up to 100 deaths in the United States each year. http://www.physorg.com/news151000966.html Medicine & Health Mon, 12 Jan 2009 16:42:46 EST news151000966 A team of scientists from across Europe are embarking on new research to develop a treatment for food allergy. http://www.physorg.com/news147337693.html Medicine & Health Mon, 01 Dec 2008 07:08:13 EST news147337693 College students with food allergies aren't avoiding the foods they know they shouldn't eat.
