  Food Allergies in the Real World  

Meet Chelsea

Age: 14
Allergic to: peanuts, tree nuts
Favorite magazines: Twist, Quizfest
Loves: basketball

What advice she would like to give to others with food allergy: “Don’t be shy to talk to people about your allergies. While some people can be stubborn about it, most people are interested in learning about something they aren’t very familiar with. I have taught many people throughout my life about my allergies, and I hope other teens are doing the same.”
