Food Allergies

For those of you that know me know that I am the biggest advocate for allergy awareness because of my oldest child. My sweet Alyssa is 8 years old and has been diagnosed with an allergy to peanuts. We discovered this when she was 3 years old and the whole family lives like we all have the same allergy. What is most important is educating our daughter as well as others on dealing allergies.

May is Food Allergy Awarness Month so I decided to post this from Anaphaylaxis Canada's news release.

I hope that all of you can understand abit more whether you have to deal with any allergies directly or indirectly. Thanks for understanding. Lori

May is Food Allergy Awareness Month taken from Anaphylaxis Canada's news release May 4th 2010

Anaphylaxis Canada applauds Parliament's motion recognizing Food Allergy Awareness Month and will be commemorating the occasion by promoting a number of initiatives intended to support the 1.3 million Canadians who live with food allergies. Food allergy is a growing public health issue in Canada. More than fifty percent of Canadians know someone with a food allergy. While allergic individuals must take responsibility for their condition, awareness and support of the community are key to keeping people, especially children, safe. Without treatment, anaphylaxis, the most severe form of an allergic reaction, can cause death.

Anaphylaxis Canada will be recognizing Food Allergy Awareness Month through a number of planned initiatives and events. This includes the organization's annual conference, hosted this year in Toronto, during which exciting new food allergy research will be presented by leading Canadian experts. Anaphylaxis Canada will also be launching two key initiatives for teens and young adults: a new French version of its website especially created for allergic teens to help them manage their food allergies more effectively; and the Sabrina Shannon Memorial Award for youth involvement in community anaphylaxis education.
