Children that have Food allergies seem to be very common in the US. Kids often tend to develop them, by age 4.
The most common allergy causing food items, include both animal and plant sources, and this small group is responsible for the majority of food allergies:
- Peanuts
- Tree Nuts
- Soy Products
- Dairy Products
- Wheat or Grain
- Shellfish
- Seafood
A Doctor may recommend an Epi-Pen for children with sever reactions to food. The epinephrine or Epi-Pens can quickly reduce the symptoms and reaction to the food.
Parents, school nurses, and baby sitters should always have at least 2 Epi-Pens at all times and should be familiar enough to use them in an emergency.
The kids should wear some form of Medical ID to make people around them aware!
