THE IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS
Food allergies are more than just a dietary concern; they can impact every aspect of a person’s life. From social gatherings to dining out, individuals with food allergies must always be vigilant about what they eat. This constant awareness can lead to feelings of isolation and anxiety.
