Early Introduction to Peanuts

The first step in our early introduction program is a peanut allergy test. As a parent, you may already be aware of the dangers of food allergies and how they might affect your child’s life. You can put your fears to rest on the first day of therapy by learning whether or not your child has a peanut allergy.

01

Know

Peanut allergy testing is part of our early introduction program. As a parent, you may know how food allergies might affect your child. You’ll know if your child has a peanut allergy on the first day of treatment.

02

Prevent

Once we know that your child hasn’t developed a peanut allergy, we’ll assess their risk. We’ll take measures to lower the risk so your child can live allergy-free.

03

Protect

If your child has developed a food allergy, we will assist you in protecting them from a reaction. We can start Oral Immunotherapy when they are old enough.
