Allergy Associates of La Crosse providers have a long history of being part of and driving additional research on sublingual immunotherapy in the U.S. Research dates to the 1960s, when Dr. David Morris first published a paper on treating food allergies with allergy drops. Since then, they have conducted several patient studies and have partnered with leading allergy researchers and organizations to expand knowledge and further refine their sublingual immunotherapy approach for food allergy, including peanut allergy, and environmental allergies.
