The Newest Discoveries about Desensitization

Now is the right time for allergy sufferers to start desensitization.

People who suffer from pollen allergies can take a deep breath when it’s frosty and cold out. But next spring will still come all too soon. In recent years, doctors have been developing a new treatment method to make spring as carefree as it should be: allergies can now be countered with desensitization. However, there are many myths about this therapy, which is also called specific immunotherapy. The European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation is here to clear up misconceptions about desensitization and to inform you about the newest scientific discoveries about the treatment (please follow this link). You can test your knowledge about desensitization and learn which rumours are true and which are false. You can also see photographs of desensitization treatment in our photo archive.
All photos can be downloaded free of charge. Detailed information about allergies can be found on the website of the European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation (www.ecarf.org). Please feel free to contact us if you have any more questions:
