“Over the years, I think we’ve been conditioned to think and assume that these epinephrine injectors and allergy pills are reversals and antidotes to these symptoms... BUT THEY ARE NOT reversals and antidotes. They buy you time. At least, they’re supposed to. A very short amount. But without proper knowledge, or in the event they don’t work, what will you do?... That’s what spawned FATE.”
There is a serious lack of awareness, training and knowledge about food-related allergies, nor is there enough training on the proper action that is to be taken in the event of a reaction. We believe that most people are oblivious to the REAL dangers of food allergies. These people can sometimes include the parents and friends of the allergy sufferers, restaurants, food producers and packagers, in some cases, even certain medical professionals, as well as the allergy sufferers themselves..
As the story goes, trauma inspires action: My sister's death inspired us to start this initiative to provide adequate training, awareness and education surrounding the growing epidemic of life threatening food borne allergens.
Ask questions.
Read every ingredient.
And NEVER take a chance on a "May Contain Traces" label.
It's not worth a life.
