This looks promising as an alternative to allergy shots.

That I might be willing to try. I have zero interest in allergy shots.

Cool, that's pretty neat. Of course, I'm allergic to so many things, they'd have to either have some unbelievably mutated rice or I'd have to eat a couple dozen "small" bowls.

Having suffered through a childhood of allergy shots, I can safely say that I have zero interest in them too. Eating a nice, tasty bowl of rice, though--that I'd be interested in doing.

Yeah ElJay, that's true for me as well.

And of course, this treatment would do nothing for people who are allergic to rice.

This would probably only work for pollen allergies though, right? I've never had allergy shots, since most of my allergies are to foods (and there are no ways to desensitize a body to allergenic foods) and mold, but I wouldn't mind trying it for the few pollen allergies I have.

The good thing, Noeman, is that there are VERY few people who are allergic to rice. IIRC it is basically considered non-allergenic.

I'm hungry. A bowl of rice would be quite suitable.
