AllerMates, which creates allergy alert wristbands and carrying cases for asthma and allergy products, created an online community at AllerMates.com, in time for
May’s Allergy and Asthma Awareness Month. The community has different options for Parents/Caregivers or professionals (doctors, nurses, etc). On the community, members can seek advice, post allergy-friendly recipes, ask medical professionals questions, and get support.
AllerMates Founder and CEO
Iris Shamus says, “Linking up with other kids and their families dealing
with the ever-present challenges of allergies and asthma, especially
during May’s Allergy and Asthma Awareness Month, gives people an
important resource and let’s them know they are not alone. Thousands of
other families are coping with the same issues and the community helps
them learn and share. Kids with allergies and asthma can participate
with their parents too and will find fun and friendly tools, resources,
games and education."
Among
the many free features and resources on the site are: a physician and
professional directory, restaurant cards, action plans, downloadable
schools signs and lots of children’s activities. AllerMates offers
something for anyone who cares for an allergic or asthmatic child and
invites all to register and share.
About AllerMates:
AllerMates were created by Iris
Shamus, who sought education and alert products for her son after
leaning he had food allergies and asthma. When she wasn’t able to find
materials that helped him learn about his allergies, she created the
characters, now known as AllerMates. Those characters then became
products that alerted others to his allergy, while making him feel
special. AllerMates products are available at CVS, Kmart, Walgreens and
other national and regional chains as well as at www.AllerMates.com,
where parents can also find a wealth of educational information,
resources like action plans and restaurant cards and an online community
dedicated to parents of children with health issues.
