TRANSCRIPT

A new toothpaste designed for individuals with peanut allergies could offer a breakthrough in desensitization treatment.

The toothpaste, part of a process called Oral Mucosal Immunotherapy (OMIT), contains small amounts of peanut proteins to gradually build immunity over time. In a small trial involving 32 participants with peanut allergies, every individual tolerated the highest dose of the peanut toothpaste without experiencing moderate or severe reactions.

The study, presented at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) meeting, highlighted the potential of OMIT for desensitizing individuals to peanut allergies through a targeted and simple administration method, reducing the need for frequent clinic visits.

While further testing is needed before widespread use, the toothpaste could become a valuable tool in managing peanut allergies and potentially lead to a more convenient and effective desensitization process for patients.
