Pediatric allergists at the University of Colorado followed 298 children 4 to 11 years of age in their phase 3 study of so-called epicutaneous immunotherapy. The Viaskin Peanut Patch delivers 250 ug of peanut protein, and over 90% of the children were able to wear the patch for the entire 5 year study period. The children’s level of tolerance to a stiff peanut protein challenge of 1000 ug rose gradually as they wore the patch. After one year, one-third of the children tolerated this challenge but that figure tripled by the study’s completion. The Viaskin Patch still awaits FDA approval, but it represents a non-invasive, readily tolerated option to the oral route for peanut desensitization. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/epicutaneous-immunotherapy-future-peanut-allergy-treatment-2025a10005s3 #peanut #allergy #patch #desensitization #immunotherapy #viaskin".

Philip Kennicott: #tRump is already numbing us to the horrific images his plans would create: Outrage never lasts. That’s why Trump wants to show us the worst before he does it.
"In his increasingly rambling public speeches, Donald Trump seems to be talking in some version of Tamarian, a language first heard more than 30 years ago in a 1991 episode of “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Spoken by a potentially hostile alien leader, Tamarian baffles the universal translator because it doesn’t consist of nouns, verbs & adjectives or any of the usual building blocks of language, but rather of allusions to myth, literature and history, densely packed but meaningless unless you know the context.
Trump is referencing a hypothetical image of something that hasn’t yet happened, and encouraging Americans to harden their hearts against its emotional power. He is extending his frequent dehumanization of immigrants — as animals and criminals…"

> As we browse the news, it's easy to become desensitised to awful events. Amanda Ruggeri explores the psychology, and the steps you can take to avoid it happening.
I try really hard to avoid #KinkShaming, yucking anybody's yum, or being judgmental about other people's #kinks. But there are definitely some sexual practices and peccadillos about which I am habitually silent, because saying "eww..." is hurtful, and it's about all I got.
I am, however, happy to report that the #desensitization effect of 20 years of sex blogging operates continuously, if slowly; even after two decades, my list of silences continues to get smaller over time.
I realized today that after working in several restaurants years ago and raising a kid who's now 16, there's NOTHING that can gross me out anymore. I've seen and smelled it all. If you want to desensitize yourself to gross stuff, do one or both of these things.
