Happy Food Allergy Awareness Month!
If you’ve found this page, you probably have food allergies and are either practicing avoidance or undergoing OIT or SLIT. So you know exactly what it’s like to be around people who are CLUELESS about food allergies. To help fix that, here are some ways to raise awareness about food allergies.
Use social media. Platforms like TikTok and Instagram are great for sharing your story. Talking about what it’s like to live with food allergies can help others understand why accommodations are so important.
Wear red sneakers. Red Sneakers For Oakley is a non profit dedicated to raising food allergy awareness in memory of a young boy who loved red sneakers and sadly passed away from anaphylaxis. Your bright red kicks can be a great conversation starter.
Try a new allergy friendly recipe and invite your friends over to try it.
Find a food allergy awareness event in your area and take part!
Have fun!
