Why is all this great stuff happening, you ask? Because May is Food Allergy Action Month with special dates dedicated to different areas of food allergy:
- National #FPIES Awareness Day – May 4th, 2015
- Food Allergy Awareness Week – May 10th-16th, 2015
- National Eosinophil Awareness Week – May 17th-23rd, 2015
It’s time to take action! Here’s what you can do:
- Prepare (check and renew prescriptions, review action plans with your children and caretakers, etc)
- Spread awareness (share on social media, school activities, local government proclamations, etc)
- Give back (donate to your favorite food allergy non-profit organization)
- Educate (friends, family, doctors, caretakers, food providers and so many more)
