Facts to consider...
* According to estimates from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 12
million Americans-roughly one in 25 people-suffer from genuine food allergies;
countless more have food intolerance and sensitivities.
* According to www.asthmaandallergies.org, food allergies affect 6 - 8% of school-age
children; about half have a high risk of developing life-threatening anaphylaxis.
Peanuts and tree nuts account for 92% of severe and fatal reactions.
* Allergic reactions to foods vary among students and can range from mild to severe
life-threatening anaphylactic reactions. Some students, who are very sensitive, may
react to just touching or inhaling the allergen. For other students, consumption of as
little as one five-thousandth of a teaspoon of an allergenic food can cause death.
* According to a MA Department of Education publication, "Accidental ingestion of the
offending allergen occurs most often at school."
* A study from the journal Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, states that 1
in 5 children with food allergies will have a reaction while in school.
* A student with an undiagnosed food allergy may experience his/her first food allergy
reaction at school.
* When a physician assesses that a child’s food allergy may result in anaphylaxis, the
child’s condition meets the definition of “disability” and is covered under the Federal
Americans with Disability Act (ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973,
and may be covered under Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) if the
allergy management affects the students ability to make educational progress.
