5 things you need to know about food allergies

Food allergies are nothing to be ashamed of, and especially for teens who may think it “un-cool” to discuss something this mundane to their friends, it is critical that we raise the level of awareness of this terrible affliction without attaching a social stigma. The key is communication. And communication without embarrassment or shame.
What a lovely paragraph. Having a child that has anaphylaxis, we have drilled into him for the last 3 years to talk about his food allergy to others and tell them what condition he has.
To look at someone with anaphylaxis you wouldn’t know they had a life threatening condition, and this is the hardest hurdle to overcome. Perception and first impressions are usually very hard to break.
Excellent information in that story.
