I too, have two children with food allergies. So we (my husband and I) decided to be pro-active finding a way to bring awareness to others about our kids’ allergies. We created the Food Allergy-Band, it comes in 3 bands: Nut, Dairy, and Food. It may help your kids too. http://www.assureproducts.com

thank you, Jeannie

I was looking at the AAAAI meeting presentations for next month, and I see that someone is presenting on camp and food allergy. I think this is the same study I took on FAAN’s website back in September. Good to see someone is looking at this.
