Interested in writing a book about peanut allergy? Contact me about this also. We are currently helping to promote books and are working on writing others.
Here is the books page link. Again I consider this book "Caring for your Child with Severe Food Allergies" a "must read" for those dealing with peanut allergy.

It would be great if you purchased it through PeanutAllergy.Com's amazon link which you will find from our books page, but even if you don't I suggest you get at least one copy. I recommend it often, especially when new people call us on the phone. I suggest people purchase a few copies, if they can afford to, so they can give one to their child's caregivers, such as baby sitters, relatives, teachers or anyone else they feel they would like to educate. I think it is a good idea to have it hanging around the house for relatives and friends to see and it can be a great conversation starter about the allergy.
Anyone who is in contact with a peanut allergic child (or adult) could benefit from reading this book. For those of you who don't already know, I have met with the author and spoken with her about her book. I am very impressed with this book and that does not happen very often when I am reviewing books on peanut allergy. I like to be sure the information in a book is accurate, not misleading or taking away from the seriousness of the allergy etc.
I of course would have liked if she put her opinions towards some of the issues in the book, but that aside, she does cover many of the topics we deal with (and some topics you may not have considered). Of special mention in my opinion is how she writes about the topic of leaning towards safety or quality of life and how this changes in our lives etc.
Stay Safe,

This book is excellent. The author does a great job at giving advice and very practical ideas. I learned so much by reading this book. She also validates the stress involved in keeping our children safe.
