STATEMENT 9 “That couldn’t be me, I couldn’t go with out xyz” Consideration: It is easy for people to say what they would or would not do when not faced with a particular situation. Food allergies don’t discriminate. It could be you, me, or anyone for that matter. When a person is diagnosed with a food allergy it has the potential to be life-threatening. The good thing about humans is that we have the ability to change to meet the needs of our environment in most cases. This is exactly what happens when a person knows the dan- gers of eating their allergen. Someone who has been diagnosed by a board-certified allergist realizes they have to make changes. Con- stantly making statements like that above often indicates that some- one has not fully understood what the impact of a diagnosed food allergy is and why it is important to remain vigilant about safety. This presents an opportunity educate people and create an even deeper, more meaningful relationship.
