Every time I see articles like this I'm very happy for everyone having those horribly debilitating and deadly autoimmune diseases.

Then with some shame I hope it might maybe one day also cure my slightly debilitating non deadly simple allergies one day.

Yay it seems it might be good for both!

As someone with both Multiple Sclerosis and a whole bunch of environmental and food allergies, I hope we both get helped.

Well, you'll also be happy to know that they started this work on allergin way before working on autoimmune disease, and in my opinion, the evidence that it works for allergies is much stronger than how it works for autoimmune diseases! Not necessarily because it won't work for auto immune stuff... just that they have done less confirming.

I have severe allergenic asthma so I was excited about it too 😁
