Are you worried every time your child leaves your sight because of their food allergies? Of course, you don’t want to end up taking them to the hospital but you also can’t be there each time they eat something? And that is why, MoM of 2, Theresa Marie from Virginia was inspired to start her business. In 2008, she began to offer unique clothing for children with food allergies and because one of her son’s has a severe nut allergy, Allergy Apparel was born.
The shirts and hoodies are hip, functional, and educational. Why skulls and crossbones? Other than the cool factor, they are a reminder that nuts, wheat, eggs, dairy, gluten, shellfish, and other foods can be poison to a child. They raise awareness and can be life saving. The designs are so great that they also have shirts without an allergy, especially nifty for the siblings.
So, whether your kiddo’s school needs to know, their caregivers need to be reminded, you are attending a celebration, or you just want to make the world aware that your child has allergies, then you need to check out http://www.allergyapparel.com

These are really cute! My son is allergic to oranges and oats, and sometimes I put labels on his shirt detailing what he can’t have when he is going to be away from me. Love this idea! I’m also trying the new BAX 3000 therapy for relief of allergy symptoms (you can google it or go to biovedawellness.com). If it works for me I’m going to let my son try it. I’m hoping one day he and I will be allergy free.
Thanks,
Jennifer
