Table 1.

Needs in regard to therapies for food allergy from adult patients and caregivers, respectively.

Adult patients	Caregivers
Reduce the risk of severe reaction from accidental exposure to allergen	Reduced severity of reactions and eliminated survival risk
Greater effectiveness than current options	Ultimate goal: to abolish severe reactions so that whatever children eat they would not fear the worst
Convenience: No more complex than current food-avoidance schemes	Reduce the number of allergic incidences
Few side effects/low risk	Safety is key: If a treatment carries risks, it must be 100% effective. For treatments without risk a lower effectiveness is acceptable
