Easily Explain Your Food Allergies to Friends and Family
When you have food allergies you have to explain and re-explain your food allergies and cross contact all the time. You're never sure if the person you're explaining it to fully gets it, or not. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to have a consistent explanation you could email or hand off to others to reinforce your verbal conversation, if not spare you a prolonged conversation?
Now you do.
The Allergy Force food allergy app offers a Friends & Family Food Allergy Explanation customized for your Allergy Profile. You can email this explanation to anyone who needs to be in-the-know about your food allergies. You can print it, too.
Think playdates, class parties, sleepovers, birthday parties, holiday celebrations, milestone events like graduations and religious events — so useful!
This is a FREE FOREVER feature that makes every day allergic life just a little easier and a lot safer.
