A new study finds that young children might be able to overcome their peanut allergies if treated early enough.

Copyright 2019 CNNWASHINGTON, D.C. - The US Food and Drug Administration's Allergenic Products Advisory Committee on Friday voted in favor of approving a treatment for peanut allergies in children. While the advisory committee has voted in favor of the treatment, the FDA will make its final approval by January. The agency frequently follows the lead of the advisory committee. If approved, this will become the first FDA approved treatment for peanut allergy. The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology says that more than 2.5% of American children are allergic to peanuts.
