The incidence of severe food allergies in children is rising. Potentially life-threating situations can arise when a child who is allergic to peanuts is given some by a well-meaning friend or relative. Donna Rendell, a mother of a child with life-threatening food allergies decided to do something about it. She created a line of adorable t-shirts that tots can wear when they are at daycare or being taken care of by someone else.
The t-shirts are done in bright colors with cute slogans about asking the child about her allergies, warning the caretaker not to feed the child nuts, dairy, gluten etc.
The t-shirts cost $29.95 (Australian dollars) and are available at
StarAllergyAlerts.com. The company also makes bracelets, stickers and badges.
We think the allergy t-shirts are great for kids, but what about us? Because we are just so tired of the barrista at Starbucks mistakenly putting cow's milk in our soy latte. Perhaps one of these t-shirts, displayed with an impressive amount of decollete would get the message across.
