What her friends do to help her manage her food allergies:
“My friends are very conscious of my food allergies. They warn me when they see nuts in a food, and they don’t bring any kind of nuts into the classroom or near me. Most of them understand how dangerous my allergy is, which is why they all know how to use my epinephrine auto-injector in case I have an emergency.
