Cardiff boy with 20 allergies pursues US-based treatment to live more normally
A 10-year-old Cardiff boy, Yann Jennings, has 20 complex allergies and travels to California every 12 weeks for a four-year allergy-elimination programme costing about £30,000 a year; NHS options were exhausted for his case, and private UK options remain limited. The treatment has reduced airborne reactions and allowed him to engage in activities with friends, but he will miss about 18 months of school. Experts say such treatments exist privately in the UK but access is uneven, and his family has set up a charity to help others while hoping for remission by secondary school.
