Many food allergies are very serious, even life-threatening.  Fortunately, my children do not suffer from any; however, I have friends and family that do.

Does your child have food allergies?

As a parent, I can’t imagine the fear that your child will accidentally intake peanuts or shellfish, for example.  Even though caregivers and schools are alerted of these allergies, there are substitutes and situations where it could happen accidentally or without knowledge.  This is especially concerning for toddlers that may not be able to to express or remember to inform about the seriousness of  their food allergy.

One solution to protecting our child with serious allergies is Allermates.  These latex-free wristbands alert others that your child has allergies.

AllerMates “I Have Allergies” wristbands, $6.99, are hypoallergenic, nickel, lead, latex, BPA and phthalate free.  The wristbands can be personalized on the back to inform of specific allergy sensitivities, medical, and emergency contact information.  To personalize, we recommend using a ballpoint pen, boil for 1 minute, and the ink becomes indelible.  Appropriate for any allergy … for 2 year olds, 12 year olds, 22 year olds and hip 52 year olds.
