Who should consider immunotherapy?
People with moderate to severe allergies should consider immunotherapy as well as those who have allergies throughout the year, those who do not respond to allergy medications, and those who are allergic to substances which are hard to avoid, like trees and grasses and pets. Immunotherapy is strongly recommended for people with severe allergies to insect stings. Immunotherapy is not recommended for food allergies because it has not been shown to be effective and because of the chance of a severe allergic reaction to the injection.
