I can see this working against bacteria and viruses but how does it block allergens? Isn't an overly strong immune reaction how they start to begin with?

Yes, allergies are a form of auto immune disorder.

This! Went from so hopeful to devastated so fast — covid gave me autoimmune nightmare syndromes, and immunosuppressants are one of very few things to have actually helped me gain a tiny bit of my life back. Boosting immune system? Nooo thank you.

If it stops transmission, then that’s still good for those of us who can’t get it, but plenty of vaccines don’t unfortunately. They’re still very worth getting and keeping up to date with boosters if you can

This is PR bullshit from Stanford, in mice.
