His thoughts on food allergies: “Always carry your epinephrine pen. It helps to have a plan when food could be an issue at overnights, parties, or restaurants. Have your parents call – or bring your own food as a back up, depending on the situation. Don’t let fear consume you, but you still need to be on guard every day.”
