Warning: May Contain Nuts
It's about a month until it's time for the FARE Walk for Food Allergy Research & Education. This is the first year this walk will make it's debut in Milwaukee. And it has come at a very good time. A couple of months ago, my son Gabriel went into anaphylactic shock after eating a pistachio nut. Although he has an allergy to milk, beef, and shellfish (he outgrew his soy allergy about a year ago), he didn't require an epi-pen. The day after we got home from the hospital we threw away everything that contained nuts, or came from a manufacturer that had nuts. Pretty much everything from our pantry was gone! Several weeks later a skin test confirmed G had a severe nut allergy that included tree nuts and peanuts. Right now it's easier to deal with his nut allergy because we can control everything he puts in his mouth. Right now our biggest concern is eating out. So I designed these Allergy Chef Cards with this adorable superhero clipart I purchased on etsy.com. G loves the superheroes on them and is proud to hand them to our waiter.
