wear an ID bracelet

Monitor your food intake by keeping a diary. List down all your activities
including all the foods you eat. Take note if when your allergies begin to
show. It may establish a connection between your allergic reactions and a
particular food, or something like scents, soap, cosmetics, clothing that you
wear or your pet’s fur.

Don’t hesitate to ask the ingredients of the menu when eating at restaurants,
parties or when eating foods prepared by someone else. It is important to
know this information for your own safety and precaution. Always bring with
you antihistamines or anti-allergy drugs as prescribed by your doctor for
emergency cases.

If possible, wear an ID bracelet that indicates your allergy. This will help
other people know what triggers your allergic reactions in cases of emergency.
You may also consider telling your family members, officemates and friends
about your allergies before going to a buffet. In this case, they can alert you of
the food you should not take.
