Food allergies in Canada: teach children to be careful, not fearful

Laurie Harada, executive director of Anaphylaxis Canada, reinforces the need for education and practical management of food allergies:
"There are simple, universal steps all parents of children with food allergies can take to teach their kids to stay safe. These include being properly diagnosed by an allergist, reading food labels, never eating food if its ingredients are unknown, and always carrying an epinephrine auto-injector and wearing a MedicAlert bracelet." 

The acorn controversy caused a stir on social media.  Allergy Partners of Lynchburg wrote a blog to address the question of whether acorns pose a risk to those with tree nut allergy.
