[QUOTE="Star*, post: 72740, member: 4964"] I LOVE your idea of making his school I.D. background a different color that will be EASILY recognizable to anyone (sneaking snack parent) or teacher. The color of the background on his ID could be BLUE...the chart on the wall would let anyone know BLUE IS FOOD ALLERGY. I think you have really struck on something brilliant! This could work well for kids who are prone to seizures...theirs could be pink and so on. It's just a quicker way for someone to get help. On allergies. I HAD severe allergies all my childhood. I was the original idea behind boy in a plastic bubble. Out of 400 allergens I tested highly allergic to 380+. I took shots every day for years, I had a room full of plastic covered and bare furniture. Our parents removed the carpet in the house, and even Crest toothpaste caused my feet to break out in golf ball sized lumps. (yeah I know I'm a little oddball) but....today I'm able to breathe, have a cat, pet a dog....go outside. Allergies will make you very irritable. I was a peach I tell ya. And that was without many food allergies. Today? I still carry a card in my wallet because the bracelet says SEE CARD IN WALLET. 1st on my list? I am allergic to : Stupid people. Then all my allergies. I am allergic to bee stings, but as a little oddball and one in a million I'm allergic to epinephrine. It's extremely rare. Most people are allergic to the preservatives (sulfa) that are in the epi to keep it fresh. So don't worry about the epi pen. Also keep in mind...shampoo's, hair sprays, perfumes, cigarettes or houses that smoke, Oris root is in practically EVERYTHING. Also with dairy, he can be lactose intolerant, but not allergic. You can usually find soy milk and cheese products to replace those things. Good luck...the test is painful and you have to be able to sit still long enough for the pricked area to bump up and itch. Call ahead and ask if there is anything he can take before hand to help calm him if you are having that type of testing done. I feel for your son. Hugs [/QUOTE]
