Australia launches ADAPT Oral Immunotherapy program to treat infant peanut allergies with free daily peanut powder doses.

Australia introduces a national program, called ADAPT Oral Immunotherapy, to treat babies with peanut allergies. The program offers free daily doses of peanut powder to children under 12 months old through ten public pediatric hospitals in various states. This radical new approach aims to build tolerance to peanuts and potentially achieve remission of allergies. The treatment represents a significant shift from previous advice to strictly avoid peanuts in the diet.
