This is awesome. I have been following SLIT and SCIT for a while and it's great to see a startup helping to make SLIT more accessible. It's quite hard to find a local provider unless you live in a big city.

One question for you: What do you base your maintenance allergen dosage on? (e.g., research studies, your clinical experience, what Europe does, something else). Specifically, could you let me know for dust mite droppings, what your dosage is?

I ask because I've been thinking about SLIT for a while, but I follow the allergy subreddit and there's a guy on there that seems to comment on every single SLIT thread saying that in the US, the allergen level used for SLIT is way too low, and much lower compared to what is used in research studies [1]. He cites a bunch of research papers that seem to support what he's saying, so would love to hear your perspective.
