Summary
This study tests whether eating small, increasing amounts of boiled cashew flour can help children with cashew allergy tolerate the nut without severe reactions. 75 children aged 2 to 17 will receive either boiled cashew flour or a placebo over time. The goal is to see if this approach can safely desensitize them or even lead to short-term remission.
