Yes, I know, I don't usually get up on my soap box. But I have two nephews with food allergies, and something like Allert Shirts seems to me like a good idea.
"ALLERT SHIRTS CAN HELP TO EASE PARENTS SOCIAL ANXIETY,BY ALERTING OTHERS TO THEIR CHILD'S SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS.
"WE HAVE TWO BOYS WITH FOOD ALLERGIES AND AT FIRST GOING TO BIRTHDAY PARTIES AND OTHER SOCIAL ENGAGEMENTS WAS VERY STRESSFUL.
"PEOPLE WERE ALWAYS OFFERING THE KIDS FOOD AND BAKED GOODS THAT WERE DANGEROUS TO THEIR HEALTH. ONE DAY, I SAID TO MY MOTHER, "IT WOULD BE GREAT IF ICOULD PUT A SIGN ON THEM LIKE THEY HAVE AT THE ZOO."
"THAT IS WHAT INSPIRED OUR FIRST DESIGN AND CHARACTERS."
Allert Shirts doesn't just sell shirts, they sell basball caps, blue and pink stick-on name tags and silicone bracelets, all with warnings about food allergies, all appropriate for children. So if you have a child or know someone who has a child who has had the same problem as the proprietor of Allert Shirts, take a look and see what they've got to offer.
P.S.: In the original font on their site it doesn't look like "shouting". Unfortunately copy/paste translated it into all caps, and frankly I'm too lazy (and the kids are screaming too loudly for dinner) for me to fix it, so feel free to blame me.
