“I have severe allergy to eggplant. Can it ever be cured?”

I am sorry to hear about issue you are experiencing. Fortunately, this is a reaction to a food that is not easily hidden so avoidance is not as problematic as for other food allergies. However, it is obviously causing you some distress. Unfortunately, at the present, we do not have a cure or ways to resolve food allergies. Allergies in general, however, tend to change or transform over time, so it is likely that in a few years, the degree of reactivity you are currently experiencing may decline. Until then, you will need to continue to do your best to avoid coming in contact with eggplant. 

Sincerely,

I am a registered dietitian - from my experience and knowledge, food allergies do not have a cure or treatment like environmental allergies do.
