>> three out of every 500 people have a peanut allergy. this is a peanut patch clinical trial. it is a mouthful. but what it really comes down to is taking a skin patch impregnated with peanut protein and having people wear it for a year. they took 221 people and spread them into two groups. one group got a high dose of the protein, one group a low dose. and the results? well, they found that after one year people who were exposed to the higher dose patch were able to tolerate peanuts in their diet, up to four peanuts. that doesn't sound like a lot, but because peanuts can be found everywhere, it's a real idea that you can trick the immune system and it seemed to work better for kids under the age of 12. so if we can turn down the immune system by exposing it to this protein, there may be a window here. >> interesting. how quickly do you think it can get to market? >> well, it certainly isn't fda approved yet. they're going to tinker with the dosage and how the drug delivery system works. but no doubt, the need is there. if we can get away from treatment with things like antihi
