Q: How many ways can we shout out a "food allergy" warning?

A: apparently a lot.  For adults, tweens and teen, wearing food allergies loud and proud ranks right up there with spinach stuck between your teeth.  But for younger children and toddlers, this can be life saving!  Wearing or carrying an an item that identifies an food allergy can be the difference tween a great play date at the park and a visit to the Emergency Room.  We now have so many options available to us ranging from cool and hip to straight forward.  It is lovely to see so many options available for our food allergy community.  Here are some websites that I found offering  interesting  items to wear or carry!  Let me know if you have any favorites to share that aren’t listed here.
 
           
 
 
No Nuts Please–offers bring bright customizable awareness bracelets for children.  The inter changeable allergen charms are fun, simple and easy to understand.
STAT Kids–are very cute and fun Allergators delivering food allergy warnings.  They sell it all: tee shirts, totes, lunch bags, buttons and even neon disposable wrist bands that could be quite valuable at camps!
Allergy Apparel   — This is very straight forward…I like this concept for camp and even older kids when in a group situation for sports, camping, retreats, etc.  I just placed my order for these for ski season for my kids since they are up on the mountains sans their lodge sitting parents.
 Allergy Monkeyis a one stop allergy alert shop!  They have it all…hip clothing with  cool food allergy warnings, bracelets, even lunch boxes with food allergy warnings too.  They even offer a cool new line of Allergy labels for foods, cupcakes and playdates!
 Allergy Monkey has whimsical shirts that are quite funny and get the point across well.  The Fish Stinks tee has me chuckling away.  They donate back to the community with each purchase and is just a fun website to check out.
Allermate’s line offers bright, whimsy character based bracelets, lunch boxes, dog tag necklaces and tee’s! The site is very cheery to match their Allermates characters!  I can’t imagine any kid not loving this stuff!
Allermate’s offers shirts with food allergy warnings on the back.  Now this would be a very useful tool at any day care or camp environment!  I’ve volunteered at Asthma Camp before and we made special buttons for the food allergic kids so we can identify them!
Allermate’s is a Canadian company, but they ship to the US with reasonable  fee’s $3.85 per pound.  They sell sports bands and a very interesting looking red Epi Pen carrier.  I’m always on the look out for a carriers!
No Nuts Please sells an interesting assortment of buttons, stickers, tee shirts and even labels for the restaurant industry to use reminding customers to discuss their allergens!  When you click on an item, you are directed to Zazzle to make your purchase, so don’t be alarmed when you end up there!
No Nuts Please-this was one of the first food allergy warning shirts I had ever seen a while back!  Simple and clean.  I loved Lisa, the company’s owner comment: “this shirt acts as a confidence builder and matchmaker.  All that in a simple garment.”
STAT Kids–Health ID products for kids sell items for kids with not only food allergies, but diabetes, asthma, Celiac, etc.  Their items are boldly designed in most red and include backbacks, bracelets, lunch bags and stickers.  Their items are very straight forward and again, I love the RED color, it adds a more serious nature to their products, which for older kids may be more appealing than whimsy.
