5. How will I know if I am having an allergic reaction to a food?
   
   
6. What should I do if I suspect that I have ingested a problem food?
   
   
7. How can I teach my child about food allergy prevention?
   
   
8. What steps can I take to ensure my child’s safety when eating at school?
   
   
9. Are there steps I can take to prevent my child from developing a food allergy?
   
   
10. Should I wear a medical alert bracelet? If so, where can I purchase one?
