In observation of this year's FAAW, the Kids With Food Allergies Support Group has also released the results of a survey they conducted to determine the top concerns of parents with food allergic kids. Nutrition, safety, education as well as stress, fear and isolation are the common challenges faced by food allergy families. As an aside, there's another similar survey currently being conducted by University of Maryland researchers, should you wish to participate in one.
CheckMyTag has also released their Be Aware. Be Safe. quarterly bulletin, Spring 2007, which focuses on food labelling, and sharing knowledge and experiences on food allergies with non-allergic families.
The Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network has also listed a lot of ideas on how to get involved in raising awareness about food allergies, whether as an individual, or a group/organization. Check them out! Remember, the more people understand food allergies, the easier it will be for us directly dealing with it.
