Does Anyone Have Advice How To Help Others Understand How Severe An Allergy Can Be!?
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am newly diagnosed (less than three weeks) and my husband just is not getting how severely allergic I am to shellfish! He made me react twice. The first time was a learning curve! Second time he used a pan and didn't clean it well I used it later to cook land I ended up in the hospital! I know it takes awhile for everyone to learn to live with allergies but does anyone have advice that would help to speed the process along! Thanks so much!!!

Do You Fear A Hospital Or Nursing Home Stay?
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have a lot of food allergies. I am terrified of having strangers cook my meals not understanding my food allergies and other health problems food based needs.
