Researchers find new treatments for grass pollen and dust mite allergies

Researchers recently found two new treatments that could help people who suffer from dust mite and grass pollen allergies.

The millions of people in the United States who are allergic to grass pollen and dust mites can breathe a sigh of relieve, as researchers have recently discovered a new set of treatments that have proven to be successful at alleviating the symptoms of these afflictions. 

According to an October 2 press release, Adiga Life Sciences studied 280 grass allergy patients and 172 dust mite allergy patients to see how they reacted to a class of therapy known as 'synthetic peptide immunoregulatory epitopes' (SPIREs) over the course of three months. The source reports that individuals who were given the treatments showed significant improvement compared to those who were given a placebo. 

"This result is an important validation of the approach we are taking to treat allergic diseases," said Mark Larch, who was responsible for leading the design of the treatments, in a press statement. "Positive results, first with a cat allergy therapy and now with house dust mite and grass allergy treatments, suggest that this approach may be used for many common allergies."

It's great to know that researchers are continuing to better understand allergies and subsequently come up with more effective medications. However, allergy sufferers who are looking for an immediate, natural way of combating their symptoms can rest assured knowing that there are devices that can help.
