CALLING ALL ALLERGY SUFFERERS

[AllergicLaura]

Hi I'm Laura, a graphic design student at Loughborough University who suffers from night-shade food allergies. This makes eating out with friends/ families and colleagues hard and is sometimes embarrassing. I have an idea and need your help please… if you or someone you know suffers from food allergies could you please fill in this 2 minute survey

www.surveygizmo.eu/s3/90105507/Food-allergies

it would be so so helpful.

I think there could be a really good digital solution to help eating out which would really help to stop people with allergies or with members of their family who have allergies feel anxious.

Done - I have rare allergies so unsure if it would work for me tho xx

Thank you OP. I completed the survey as the parent of a child with a food allergy which wasn't clear, but I hope you'll get the gist! Good luck.

Hi, my son developed a life threatening nut allergy out of the blue aged 6. Since then we have avoided all nuts and relied upon Epipens. Every allergy related death has reinforced the need for vigilance. Following the heartbreaking media coverage of the recent inquest into the death of a young girl who eat from Pret A Manger and the Coroners findings related to food safety regulations and the effectiveness of Auto Injectors, clearly to help sufferers manage their condition, legislation needs improvement. To force a political debate on allergy legislation, I need 10,000 signatures on a petition you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/factual-accurate-food-labelling
Since this death another 15 year old is reported to have died after eating a curry from a take away. She checked the ingredients upon purchase. Allergies can develop at any time so please please help me get the law changed by signing my petition and circulating it to family and friends. Let’s stop more beautiful young people dying.
