Allergies and Anaphylaxis

The issue of Allergies and Anaphylaxis  which we  are  about to  address in this post would be considered  outside of our  normal  focal point. We do believe it is imperative to  address this issue as  I have been the aunt of children who has severe food and environmental  allergies  for  14 years. Allergies,Allergens, Anaphylactic shock, Epipens, Food and Environmental triggers, Label readings or Obsessive label reading for cross contamination or minor ingredient changes that  could cause major reactions,Food dyes,Parfums,Smells,Clean surfaces.The importance of keeping your hands and everything around you free of contamination  have become second nature  to  me, it is now  as simple as putting on my socks. The truth is for more and more families this is becoming their way of life, the new normal.

 I  won't attempt to sound  like an "expert " in this area, because I am not. I will leave that  to my sister  whom myself and numerous others have dubbed "SUPERMAMA" because she has at this point seen  it all and know it  all. Having  had children with extreme food and environmental allergies and the impact  it can  have  on   the child/children who have them and the  necessary adjustments needed  for everyone around them to be comfortable.

 Spreading awareness about food allergies and the realities of anaphylaxis in children is just as important as any other issue  which plaque these little angels, when they  hurt  we hurt  and  it is important to  understand the reasons and causes  behind these  issues whether  we are  in  direct contact with someone who has  a child who is affected  or you are  removed from the situation.  It is important to  know.
As  these children  become teenagers and  adults with  food allergies  it become harder  to think of them as children  in a bubble or children we don't interact with on a daily basis. They will instead  become  your college  room mate,team member, colleague,friend,counselor, doctor or  your  husband or wife with food and environmental allergies. Knowledge is never a  negative  thing, we cannot understand  what we do not know, the end result is always to raise awareness and help individuals to understand a plethora of issues which will help to bring about change.

 Today our aim  is to raise awareness by  sharing  links and articles  about  food allergies and anaphylaxis. It is our goal to  have someone who has first  hand knowledge on the issue to  write a  post  on the topic in the upcoming weeks, to directly  share with the challenges and triumphs of raising a child with severe food and environmental allergies.
