One little pinch
U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Cherie Gregory, an allergy and immunization technician with the 35th Medical Operations Squadron, injects a patient with an immunotherapy allergen during their visit with the immunization clinic at Misawa Air Base, Japan, Jan. 14, 2016. Immunotherapy may take anywhere from three to seven years, depending on an array of criterion including the patient’s own genetic makeup. This type of therapy is the only available treatment that can modify the natural course of the allergic disease by reducing the patient’s sensitivity to allergens. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
