...experimental treatment, called oral immunotherapy, aims to desensitize the body to allergens like peanuts by training the immune system to make peace with them. Most food allergies - whether to peanuts, eggs, milk or shellfish - are a result of the immune system misidentifying a food as a dangerous toxin.
