Food Allergies:
Most people know very little about food allergies until they, or some they know develops them. If left untreated, food allergies can cause a range of unpleasant side effects and can lead to anaphylactic shock. Most allergic reactions are unpredictable, which means that someone with food allergies should always be prepared for a severe reaction. It is very important that not only should anyone with food allergies learn to identify and avoid allergens, but that their support network (family & friends) also know how to help prevent and respond to allergic reactions.
