Rebecca's Self-Portrait

Advice to other teens with food allergies:
“My most important piece of advice is to always carry epinephrine with you, because eventually it will save your life. Also, know what an allergic reaction will feel like so you can be aware of when you are experiencing a reaction. This way you can prevent it from getting worse.”
