Well it is that time of the year again. Easter is coming and it is the worst time for someone with food allergies. Keeping a food allergic child safe this time of year is tough. In fact the last 2 years running Lynda has ended up in the hospital after Easter due to a reaction. Our goal this year is to keep her out of the hospital so we are being extra careful. Not attending some church celebrations, heading over to families houses for a few minutes vs the entire celebration.
Here are some ways to keep your food allergic child safe during this holiday:
1) Have your child wear gloves- most children do not wash their hands after eating candy (adults either)
2) Have your events not center around food and candy- give away trinkets, play games etc.
3) Minimize exposure- know the environments you are walking into
4) Expect that everywhere you go will be dangerous
I hope these tips help and keep you safe for the Holiday-
Remember to mark your calendars for April 21st for the 2nd Annual Food Allergy Awareness Night at the Ballpark! Kernels Stadium- Cedar Rapids, IA
Have a great holiday week.
