- NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT YOUR EPIPEN® AND MedicAlert® BRACELET- very important
- Always wash your hands after eating
- Keep hand sanitizer with you at all times
- When preparing food use "safe" items (such as: designated cutting boards, utensils, and cookware)
- Have designated jars of food specifically for your allergic child (so that no one cross contaminates the jar with a butter knife or similar item
- Do not buy lunch meats from a deli as cheese may have been cut on the deli equipment
- We always suggest you bring your own food when eating in public
- Take your own plate and utensils when eating out (put your epipin® in plain view of your server so they understand the severity of the situation)
- Use disposable placemats in any public facility
- Read your food labels every time you buy your items as ingredients and manufacturers change constantly
- Be sure to make everyone involved with your child aware of the severity of the situation
