Scientists are one step closer to curing severe nut allergies that affect thousands of people across the UK, according to research published today.Doctors at Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge said they had developed a successful desensitisation programme which builds up tolerance in patients by slowly exposing them to tiny doses of peanut.Four children who took part in the trial, which is published in the Allergy medical journal, were fed minute doses of peanut flour over six months.
