Meet Ryan

 

Age: 18
Allergic to: peanuts, soy
Favorite TV show: House
Loves: ultimate frisbee, reading, anime

What advice he would like to give to others with food allergies:
“Learn and practice how to give yourself epinephrine. I’ve practiced with expired EpiPens® on oranges. Carry your medicine with you at all times, and keep it in the same place so you know where it is. You have to be prepared.”
