Why Is There No Cure for Allergies?

Your immune system is designed to protect your body against attacks from stuff like bacteria that could harm it, but in the case of allergies, your immune system's efforts are misguided. Cat hair, or dust, or whatever you're allergic to is a false alarm, but your body doesn't know any better and attacks it anyway.

Can allergies be cured permanently?

Can allergies be cured? Allergies can't be cured, but symptoms can be controlled using a combination of avoidance measures and medications, as well as allergen immunotherapy in properly selected cases.

Will there be a cure for allergies in the future?

The future of food allergy treatment is promising with a number of clinical trials in progress. Currently, although desensitization can be achieved for the majority of individuals with food allergy through immunotherapy, continued ingestion of allergen is needed for most individuals to maintain desensitization.
