This looks promising as an alternative to allergy shots.

That I might be willing to try. I have zero interest in allergy shots. [Razz]

Cool, that's pretty neat. Of course, I'm allergic to so many things, they'd have to either have some unbelievably mutated rice or I'd have to eat a couple dozen "small" bowls. [Wink]

Having suffered through a childhood of allergy shots, I can safely say that I have zero interest in them too. Eating a nice, tasty bowl of rice, though--that I'd be interested in doing.

Yeah ElJay, that's true for me as well.

And of course, this treatment would do nothing for people who are allergic to rice. [Smile]

This would probably only work for pollen allergies though, right? I've never had allergy shots, since most of my allergies are to foods (and there are no ways to desensitize a body to allergenic foods) and mold, but I wouldn't mind trying it for the few pollen allergies I have.

The good thing, Noeman, is that there are VERY few people who are allergic to rice. IIRC it is basically considered non-allergenic.

I'm hungry. A bowl of rice would be quite suitable.

Yeah, I was just being funny. Well, trying for funny, actually.

I've always attributed the fact that I don't mind needles to the fact that I got allergy shots every two weeks as a kid. Now I'm like "Yes yes, take my blood, give me tetanus shots, yawn yawn". This thread makes me think maybe I was just already not afraid of shots. Hmm. Yeah, I need to get me to an allegist and see if they have more powerful drugs or something, my allergies are on the rampage.
