RE: This will sound callous but ...

Comment comment by Anonymous on 14 September 2007

What parents need to know is that my sons peanut allergies do not just affect him at school. I cannot and will not go anywhere without his epi-pen. Until he is old enough to inject himself with the epi-pen, I have to be present at every play-date, birthday party... which I have to bring a "special treat" because he cannot eat the cake or icecream provided. That's fine, I'll do that because NOONE want's to be responsible for injecting my child in their care with the epi-pen and calling 911 if a reaction happened. As far as the supermarkets go...we struggle, every check out counter has rows of candy. As much as we have educated our 5 year old about his allergies the temptation is always there. I'm not asking the parents to deal with our food allergies outside of the school system...just to understand for a 5 to 6 hour time frame to understand. Death versus taste preference..I really don't think it's a lot to ask.
