(TN) becomes one of the main triggers of food-allergic reactions and food anaphylaxis. Since there is no effective cure, TN-allergic patients and their families must continue to live with this chronic, disabling condition while avoiding allergens and responding to allergic reactions with emergency treatment. An emerging experimental treatment for food allergy is oral immunotherapy (OIT). Tree nut OIT appears promising in preliminary studies but there are concerns about the high risk of adverse reactions to TNs used in the treatment. The rate of remission with TN OIT is also lacking. Identification of OIT regimes with increased efficacy and safety is urgently needed. The investigators revealed that boiled cashews had lower allergenic potential but retained mast cell reactivity. The aim of this proposed study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of a novel treatment strategy for TN-allergic individuals, whereby the investigators hypothesized that consuming increasing quantities of boiled cashews can induce desensitization\u002F remission to roasted tree nuts in children with cashew allergies.",[78,79],"Food Allergy in Children","Food Allergy",[81,82,83,84],"food allergy","cashew allergy","tree nuts","oral immunotherapy","2026-05-12",{"date":87,"type":88},"2026-05-15","ACTUAL",{"date":90,"type":88},"2024-06-01",{"date":92,"type":72},"2028-06-30",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
