Food Allergies and What We Can Do

Information taken from CNN Health report.
Cases of severe food allergies are on the rise in the U.S. and the reasons for this are still unclear. There is speculation for doctors and experts that it is due to the overly clean environment that our children grow up in and the lack of bacteria they are exposed to. Others believe that introducing children to things like fish and nuts should happen much earlier in life than 2-3 years as many pediatricians recommend. Whatever the reason may be, it does not change the fact that food allergies can make the lives of the child with the allergy as well as the parents who are dealing with it, extremely difficult and many times scary.
