Food allergy and Sarah

Doctors diagnosed Sarah’s peanut allergy when she was still an infant and her mum, Antoinette, says it was a frightening and life-altering discovery. “People need to realise that consuming food that you are allergic to could potentially lead to anaphylaxis. It is absolutely terrifying.”

Sarah has been part of a research trial that may help her tolerate peanuts.

Every project endeavours to meet the challenge to improve the health of people living with allergy and immune diseases.
