Severe Food Allergies – Back to School Checklist:

1. Check the expiration date on your epi pens and refill them if needed

2. Carry your epi pen – always!

3. Make sure your new teachers and friends know about your allergies and where you keep your epi pens.

4. Wear your medical ID bracelet – or consider ordering one if you don’t have one.

5. Fill up your bin of safe school snacks

6. Speak up. Even though it can be embarrassing, it beats the alternative.
