This month, we are celebrating Allergy and Asthma Awareness Month. May is peak season for allergy and asthma sufferers and we want to help raise awareness about the dangers of these common diseases. Over 50 million Americans have allergies and 24.5 million Americans suffer from asthma, six million of which are children.

Asthma and allergies often go hand in hand. Scientists worldwide are actively working with our exclusive LAMP-Vax™ technology in hopes of expanding treatment options for allergy sufferers.  LAMP-Vax allergy vaccines are currently being developed by Astellas Pharmaceuticals, research and trials are currently focusing on application to Japanese Red Cedar and peanut allergies.

While scientists continue to research more comprehensive, immunotherapy-based treatment options for allergy sufferers, be sure to talk with your physician about allergy and asthma concerns.

Help Immunomic raise awareness about allergies and asthma by sharing these suggested posts:
