Desensitization to allergens - what does this mean
Desensitization to allergens occurs when a person is exposed to small, gradually increasing amounts of an allergen over a period of time. this allows the body to build up a tolerance to the allergen, reducing or eliminating the allergic reaction.
What happens during the disease - desensitization to allergens
Desensitization to allergens is a process by which the body is gradually exposed to increasing amounts of allergen over time, allowing the immune system to become less reactive and therefore less sensitive to the allergen. this process can be achieved through a variety of methods, including oral or subcutaneous immunotherapy, allergen avoidance, and allergen-specific immunotherapy. the ultimate goal of desensitization is to reduce the body's immune response to the allergen, thus reducing the severity of symptoms associated with the allergen.
Desensitization to allergens - Prevention
Desensitization to allergens is a preventative measure that involves gradually introducing the patient to the allergen in order to reduce the body's sensitivity to it. this can be done through a series of injections, oral medications, or sublingual drops. the goal is to reduce the body's allergic response and allow the patient to tolerate the allergen without experiencing any symptoms.
