Sometimes people with an allergy get allergy shots. they are injected with tiny amounts of the allergen that triggers the allergic reaction. the shots are repeated at regular intervals, and the amount of allergen that is injected each time gradually increases. how do you think this might help an allergy? do you think this approach just treats allergy symptoms or might it cure the allergy?

It helps your body get used to the allergen better. It just depends on the allergy.
