HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Immunotherapy is an option to treat allergies. It is normally used for life threatening allergies due to wasp or bee knees, severe hay fever.

At present it is not available for treatment of allergies due to foods, this would include nuts.

It is not an option for you are this time.

I hope this helps
