Good news, hay fever sufferers, the Food and Drug Administration appears to be ready to approve two allergy treatments that don't involve injections. The New York Times reports the new drugs are given sublingually, administered under the tongue in order to be absorbed through the mucosa directly into the bloodstream.
The first two drugs treat only grass allergies, however it appears other drugs to deal with ragweed and animal dander may be in the pipeline. Allergy doctors' elaborate desensitization shot clinics are potential casualties.
