Meet Dana

Allergic to: peanuts, tree nuts, soy, legumes
Favorite TV shows: “One Tree Hill,” “So You Think You Can Dance”
Loves: cheerleading, dance

What she would like nonallergic people to know about food allergy: “It is very difficult to have a food allergy. There are many new things you have to become accustomed to, such as reading labels and asking tons of questions, and there are many precautions that you have to take to protect yourself.”
