This is amazing. I was not happy when my doctor told me I had to do 3 shots, twice a week, for my allergies, with 30min wait time at the doctors, while I could have just had sublingual pills from the comfort of my home if I were in Europe. Those shots lasted for 5+ years... Really hope the best of success to your start-up !

#92Congrats on your launch! This sounds really promising! How do you deal with the risk of severe reactions? Is that risk diminished with drops instead of shots? I'm undergoing shot therapy now and had a life threatening anaphylactic reaction to a shot just a couple months ago. I'm concerned if I had been by myself at home I may have died? I was at the doctors office but they still called 911 for "backup" because I got…
Do you take an antihistamine before your shots? If not you may want to do that, that severely reduces the risk of a reaction.

#93I can't see anyone referring to the FDA directly here. Can you be explicit about the FDA approval process for what you are doing?
Where does it sit, in approved treatments?
(not a US resident, so this is at best, indirectly relevant to me but the Australian equivalent process would reflect on what the FDA said)

#95I really want this. Any plans to address shellfish allergies?
Don’t use them. They use arbitration clause. You will lose your rights.

#96This sounds incredible.
It’s not. There are literally hundreds doing same thing. They also use arbitration. Looks like you are paid commenter. My bad!

The FDA has approved the individual allergens (allergy triggers) that are used for allergy immunotherapy, both allergy shots and allergy drops.

Allergy shots have their place, but for most patients they're much too inconvenient! Thank you for your kind words.

#99As someone who did 5 years of immunotherapy, which changed my life, I can vouch for this being a brilliant idea. My allergist told me after completing the full course of treatment that <10% of patients do so because of the diligence required to do weekly shots week in week out.
Thanks! We really are trying to make allergy immunotherapy more convenient and accessible.

#100Genuine question: there are already many others doing this, including online. For example:
How do you folks differentiate?
