  Food Allergies in the Real World  

Meet Peter

Age: 15
Allergic to: tree nuts
Favorite band: Rascal Flatts
Loves: marching band, the piano, the Boy Scouts

What his friends do to help manage his food allergy:
“My friends know the symptoms that occur when I have a reaction. They know that I keep my EpiPen®s in the front compartment of my backpack, and they know how to administer them in case I am unable to do it myself. My friends also try to make foods that are safe when I come over to their house.”
