Possible cure for nut allergies?

A bone marrow transplant is thought to have cured both the cancer and the peanut allergy of a 10-year-old boy, LiveScience reports. The boy, who was being treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, remains both cancer- and peanut allergy-free, doctors said at a meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology today. He'd had the peanut allergy since he was 15 months old, according to US News & World Report. While several studies have found people developing new allergies after bone marrow and other transplant procedures, the opposite case is more rare. 

 

Wow, there may be a cure for nut allergies in the future. Hopeful!!!
