Well, allergy sufferers may soon have a new solution for sneezing, watery eye, itchy eye, the wakes. As cbs 2 dr. Max gomez explains it is like an allergy shot but better. Trees, grass, pollen. Ragweed. And i am allergic to dust. The traditional way to conquer the severe allergies voxes weekly shots of higher and higher doses of purified concentrated allergen. A substance that triggers the awful symptoms. Completely stuffy, congested face, puffy red eyes. Allergy shots have some drawbacks. The holy grail has been to come up with a way to avoid the long sixmonth period of injections and the several years of injections thereafter. And now a new approach called spires, synthetic peptic immuno blair toe glare yer epi totes. And eight should do the job. And hopefully four injections. They would typically administer four weeks apart. The idea is to use a piece of the big allergen that causes an allergic reaction and the peptide may be enough to trick certain immune system cells to change without the full blown allergy. And it is in Clinical Trials. Patients getting spire and others a placebo. We dont know if the patient receiving active product or a placebo. This trial is for people who just have dust mite allergies but the company is developing spire shots for other common allergens. And Clinical Trials are now under way in the u. S.
