Back to School with Anaphylaxis – Episode #25

Well it’s back to school time again in Australia, and Anaphylaxis Australia put out a press release a couple of weeks ago about it. So I thought I’d cover it on the show.

Of course this information isn’t just for Australia, it’s universal, so press the play button on the media player below to listen to this episode.

Anaphylaxis Management Using Desensitisation – Episode #23

In this episode I speak about managing anaphylactic food allergies using the desensitisation method. There is a current study going on in the Children’s Hospital Boston using a desensitisation method, which sort of mirrors the treatment that’s been going on for years over at the Pediatric Hospital Burlo Garofolo in the city of Trieste, north-east of Italy (www.burlo.trieste.it)

Listen to the podcast here first, then read the websites / watch the videos below.
