Peanut allergies are the second-most common allergy in Australia — and for those severely allergic to the legume, mere traces can be fatal. Now, 10 paediatric hospitals across Australia are introducing a world-first mainstream care model offering “peanut oral immunotherapy program” for babies under the age of one.
New peanut allergy treatment program launched in Aussie hospitals. Parents of children with the allergy work hard to ensure their little ones are not exposed to peanuts, but accidental exposure can be a persistent fear. “It can be like having a poison in every fridge,” Federal Assistant Health Minister Ged Kearney said. By the age of 12 months, 3 per cent of Australian children will have a peanut allergy — with only one third of those shedding the allergy by age 10.
