Food Allergy Awareness
There are about 5.9 million kids living with food allergies, 1 in 13 kids under the age of 18, which is about 2 in every classroom. The holiday season from now through the new year poses threats to kids trying to manage food allergies. We would like to increase awareness about food allergies by reminding students and parents of the following:
· Food allergies are very serious. It is not a joking matter.
· Reactions can be life threatening
· Preventing exposure is crucial
o Don’t share food, forks, knives, spoons, or straws with friends
o Wash hands before and after eating. Some people with food allergies can get sick even if they are touched by something that has a tiny bit of food on it.
· If a friend with allergies is sick, tell an adult right away. This will make sure that your friend gets help and gets the medicine they need to feel better.
· Food allergies can make Halloween even scarier. Please remember not to bring anything with nuts into the classroom.
