A Little Help for Your Friends

Here are some tips from Be a PAL: Protect a Life, a FAAN program. They will help you make life a bit easier for classmates.

Never take food allergies lightly. Don't tease classmates about their food allergies or encourage them to eat something that they shouldn't.

Don't share food with friends who have allergies. Your food might cause someone else to have an allergic reaction.

Wash your hands after eating. Some people can have a reaction after being touched by a person who has handled a certain food.

Know your friends' allergies, and help them avoid off-limits foods. Learn to scan food labels for allergens.

If a friend who has food allergies becomes ill, get help immediately! At school, find the nurse, a teacher or another adult. At home, tell a parent. In some cases, you may need to call 911 for medical help.
