Her thoughts on food allergies: “I have learned how absolutely imperative it is to always have my epinephrine auto-injector and antihistamine with me. I’ve gotten to the point now where I treat my epinephrine auto-injector like I do my shoes or my shirt – it’s part of my wardrobe and needs to be with me at all times.”
