Food Allergy Fatality Memorial Slideshow
Each year in the US there are approximately 30,000 anaphylactic episodes, involving about 2,000 hospitalizations and 150-200 deaths due to anaphylactic shock.
These pictures only represent a handful of those who have died due to fatal food reactions. To learn more about each individual, please click on the slideshow below. My heart goes out to all of their loved ones!

Your kids are cute! Looks like they are having so much fun!
We are looking to take our first trip to the dells with food allergies, do you have any tips?
Sorry it's taken me so long to respond, Jeanette! What is your child allergic to? Unfortunately Brody has so many food allergies that we really don't eat out much at all. There are a couple of restaurants that we have grown comfortable with, but it's much less stressful for all of us if we just pack tons of our own food where ever we go. Where are you heading to in the Dells?
I'd love to connect with you as a mom of a food allergy child in Wisconsin! I'm in Milwaukee. If you'd like, email me at burksm14@hotmail.com. Thanks!
