This news
shouldn't be surprising because teenagers are known to be risk-takers and think
they are immortal. We’re not going to talk about alcohol or drug abuse or
driving fast. Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that
teens are more likely to take risks when it comes to food allergies. Behavior
such as not reading food labels or knowingly eating foods labeled “May Contain
Allergens” are relatively common. Teens can also be careless. In a poll of 174
food-allergic individuals, the results showed many of them do not always carry
self-injectable epinephrine, the medication that is immediately needed in the
case of a severe allergic reaction. There were 174 teens in the study and
clearly it shows that it is an issue.
We always
appreciate your comments.
