About me:
One can never know when a medical emergency will occur. However, being prepared for such an emergency can mean the difference between life and death.
Dedicated to promoting awareness about and preparing for medical emergencies, MedAware is a site designed to help you save lives.
MedAware's Focus:
Food Allergies
Most people know very little about food allergies until they, or some they know develops them. If left untreated, food allergies can cause a range of unpleasant side effects and can lead to anaphylactic shock or death. Most allergic reactions are unpredictable, which means that someone with food allergies should always be prepared for a severe reaction. It is very important that not only should anyone with food allergies learn to identify and avoid allergens, but that their support network (family & friends) also know how to help prevent and respond to allergic reactions.
Looking for Support?
Here are two new message boards for individuals with Food Allergies!!

My daughter will be 3 next month and dealing with her food allergies has been, well, enlightening to say the least. It's really hard to find others out there who are aware of the seriousness of dealing and living with food allergies. Thank you!
