Allergy Awareness - Navigating a New Normal

This guidebook is written for those with newly diagnosed allergies who are at the beginning of redefining what their new normal will be. It is also written for those in the various communities who will be called upon to support those with allergies. These include extended family, schools, faith groups, community groups, work groups, food services of all types. It is also intended for legislators and policymakers in New York State. Those managing life-threatening allergies need supportive laws that allow and require all of these communities support all of us with known and unknown allergic reactions.

Feel free to view or download any or all of the four sections.
