Beneficial Foods: Olives, cans of tuna, hard boiled eggs, and fruits.
Medical Information:
Long term effects: As I looked I found no long term effects.
Treatment: both offer Immuneotheropy which is when you get exposed to tiny amounts of allergy and the amount is increased to create a tolerance.
Duration: Could be whole life but could be a phase.
