What advice he would like to give to others with food allergies:
“I would say the best way to handle your allergy is to raise awareness, both of your specific situation, and of food allergies in general. All my friends know about my food allergies, but if they didn’t understand the severity of my allergies, life would be much more difficult. I know I am uncomfortable when I’m in a room with food that I’m allergic to, and when other people are aware of that fact, they are much more understanding and helpful.”
