A study has estimated the economic cost of food allergies at $24.8 billion/year in the US
A study has estimated the economic cost of food allergies at $24.8 billion/year in the US, about 17% of it being borne by the health care industry and the rest by families. The cost to families includes both out-of-pocket costs (medication, doctor’s visits, specialized food, etc.) and opportunity costs in lost work productivity and, in some cases, lost job opportunities where a parent has to alter or give up a job to provide extra care.

Just moments after I looked up the Windows 95 release date, J said (referring to the carabiner he was playing with), “Daddy have the clippy thing!” *shudder*

Despite shots, peanut allergy kills teen
This story really hits home for me because the beginning so closely tracks my own experience exactly a week earlier during Comic-Con: Friday, on vacation, could tell there was something wrong immediately, reaction seemed to be under control but reemerged later…Except with me, the EpiPen worked, and I walked out of the hospital that evening.
No guarantees.
