Informative. Over half dealt with peanut allergies & my problem is tree nuts, especially walnuts and pecans. I may have to break down and get the medi-lert bracelet. I wonder if that comes in a tennis bracelet style. You know I love my bling. OOOH! A matching diamond studded Epi-Pen case to match. Fashion is everything, even when you are in the throws of anaphalyctic shock.

Quite useful. My niece Sarah is allergic to nuts, which makes it difficult sometimes.

Found very helpful and easy to read. Did not realize that peanuts and nuts were in so many items.
