Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania may have developed a vaccine for seasonal allergies and food allergies.
Y'ALL THIS IS SO COOL AND COULD BE HUGE FOR SO MANY PEOPLE

A new Penn mRNA vaccine stopped allergens from causing dangerous immune reactions and life-threatening inflammation in mice.
BRIEF SUMMARY:
It is an mRNA vaccine with successful mammalian (mice) trials.
The vaccine targets life-threatening inflammation and immune responses.
Mice with serious allergies, which received the vaccine tailored to those allergies, stopped having immune reactions when exposed to those allergens.
Aka: vaccinating against allergies.
If they can develop it for safe human use, it could save an enormous amount of lives, and IMPROVE the lives of people who live in constant fear of encountering their lethal allergens.
Because it’s able to be tailored, and specifically affects the immune system response, it may one day be able to adjust immune responses to chronic conditions like Celiac Disease, Asthma, Food Sensitivities, Food Allergies, and potentially many other autoimmune disorders.
Imagine a future where a child with a deadly shellfish allergy could get a shot and just… not be allergic anymore. Eat shrimp with no fear.
Be born with Celiac, get a shot, and casually eat gluten with no side effects.
We’re not quite there yet, but it’s performing well in mammalian trials, and we have high hopes!
