School children in Wisconsin are now allowed to carry their Epi-Pens on their bodies! Luckily our school has always allowed my son to self-carry his life-saving medication, but this new law should help many families whose schools haven't been nearly as understanding!

Monster Mouth Apples
With Halloween almost here, why not surprise your little pumpkin with a spooky treat for an after school snack today!
Monster Mouth Apple Bites
Cut an apple into quarters. Cut a wedge on the skin side to resemble an open mouth. Cut mini marshmallows into little triangle teeth and attach to the apple with Sunbutter or soybutter. Use a fruit roll-up to make the tongue.
*The teeth can also be made with slivered almonds (if your child isn't allergic) or small slices of carrot stuck into the apple.

Petition to Update FALCPA
Sign this petition to update the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) of 2004 to include sesame and mustard seeds! FALCPA petition
More information:
We would like to request that the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (Title II of Public Law 108-282), also known as FALCPA, be extended to include labeling of items containing sesame seeds and mustard seeds.
Sesame seed, for example, is sometimes hidden in ingredients, under the name "tahini", "spices", or "natural flavoring". Individuals with food allergies need to know exactly what is contained within a food product, for the sake of their health and safety. Approximately 3 million Americans are affected by sesame allergies and accidental exposures can be fatal, for some.
Food allergies are on the rise, now affecting 1 in 13 children, in the U.S., according to the latest study sponsored by the Food Allergy Initiative.

EpiPen Study
A study done by Air Force doctors has found that at least 95% of the medicine from an EpiPen is injected regardless of whether you hold the needle in for 1 or 10 seconds. This is very reassuring news for anyone who might panic and pull the needle out sooner then the recommended 10 seconds.
Study shows most get right dose from EpiPen
