BECAUSE EVERY PARENT AND CHILD DESERVES TO LIVE WITHOUT THE FEAR OF PEANUT ALLERGIES
Children are more sensitive and more vulnerable than adults.
Peanuts have a significant impact on children and their families, because they can trigger life threatening allergic reactions including skin rashes, swollen lips or faces, anaphylactic shocks and sometimes deaths.
- Over 2.5% of children in the U.S. have peanut allergies.
- Peanut allergy is responsible for over $25 Billion/year in hospitalization and health care costs.
- High economic burden to families.
Schools prohibit peanut products due to the risk of life-threatening anaphylaxis reactions.
Peanuts have been removed from airlines due to the threat of a passenger having an anaphylactic shock while flying.
