How her friends help her manage her food allergies: “My friends are my constant support blanket and extra pair of eyes. They know how to use the EpiPen, what gives me a reaction, and how to avoid it. They educate others and never put me down or encourage me into doing something stupid or dangerous involving my food allergies.”
