Parents of children with severe allergies just got life-changing news from Health Canada. A nasal spray alternative to EpiPens is now approved, eliminating the fear of needles during emergencies.
Millions of Canadians with severe allergies can now treat life-threatening reactions without needles. Health Canada just approved Neffy, a pocket-sized nasal spray that delivers the same life-saving epinephrine as EpiPens.
A 26-year-old woman in Mexico discovered her month-long cough wasn't allergies but her own nose ring, which had traveled into her lung while she slept. After a harrowing surgery that brought her dangerously close to death, she's sharing her story to help others avoid the same terrifying ordeal.
A treatment that "teaches" the body to resist seasonal allergies is transforming lives for millions of hay fever sufferers. The safe, effective therapy works like a cure, not just symptom relief.
Researchers discovered three common proteins in corn, wheat, and soy that train our immune systems to tolerate food instead of attacking it. This breakthrough could lead to treatments that eliminate food allergies for millions of people.
Scientists discovered that common bacteria in our mouths can break down the proteins that trigger dangerous peanut allergies. One microbe, Rothia aeria, eliminated nearly 100% of these harmful proteins in lab tests.
Brazilian scientists turned a colorful fungus from the Amazon rainforest into a safe, antioxidant-rich dye for cosmetics that outperforms synthetic alternatives. The discovery offers a sustainable solution as countries ban harmful synthetic dyes linked to allergies and health problems.
Scientists discovered that exposing lungs to harmless microbe fragments creates a lasting memory that prevents allergies for months. The protection comes from structural lung cells, not immune cells, opening new paths for allergy prevention.
Scientists at Stanford Medicine have developed a revolutionary nasal spray vaccine that protects against multiple respiratory threats at once. In mice, the single spray defended against COVID-19, flu, bacterial pneumonia, and even allergies for months.
Scientists at Stanford Medicine have developed a breakthrough nasal spray vaccine that protects against multiple respiratory threats at once, from COVID-19 and flu to bacterial infections and even allergies. In mice, the experimental vaccine provided months of broad protection by supercharging the lungs' natural defenses instead of targeting specific pathogens.
Stanford researchers created a nasal spray vaccine that protected mice from viruses, bacteria, and allergies for months. Human trials could begin soon for what scientists call a "universal vaccine" against respiratory threats.
Scientists at Stanford created a nasal spray that protected mice from multiple viruses, bacteria, and even common allergens for months. The breakthrough vaccine works differently than traditional shots by activating the body's first line of defense.
Scientists at Stanford Medicine have developed a nasal spray vaccine that protects mice against flu, COVID, allergies, and other respiratory threats for months. If it works in humans, one spray each fall could replace multiple annual shots.
Yale scientists finally explained why children raised around animals and microbes develop fewer allergies. The discovery could reshape how we prevent and treat allergic reactions.
New research reveals how early life experiences create immune "memories" that protect against allergies for life. The discovery could explain why allergy rates have skyrocketed and point toward prevention strategies.
