Magazine cover story: The end of food allergies?
For a long time, doctors had nothing to offer people with food allergies. Now, a new approach is beginning to prove its worth: «desensitization». But it's far from a miracle cure. Can we heal evil with evil? And why have food allergies soared in recent years? Journalist Marine Corniou presents a comprehensive dossier on the subject.
