We recently had a chat with a chap who is allergic to peanuts. To the point that if a knife or chopping board had not been cleaned using hot soapy water after being used to chop peanuts and was used to prepare other foods, he could experience a severe allergic reaction. We soon realised that Medical ID bracelet for people with allergies could help significantly.
We continued to research the issue and found over 4.5 million people are allergic to peanuts. The gentleman did carry an EpiPen, however his fear was that should he experience an allergic reaction, the symptoms could delay him accessing the pen and could become severe resulting in anaphylaxis, which can be life threatening and could cause breathing difficulty.
He took some comfort in the hope that medical help would be called for but if he had passed out wanted to make sure that the help would be able to identify the issue. BERTS Alert Medical provides the solution, his allergy to peanuts is listed in his record enabling the first responders to take appropriate action.
We continued to research this issue and found that one in 4 is allergic to something, whether that be milk, eggs, peanuts, soy, wheat, shellfish, fish, or sesame, etc. Nearly 5 million people are allergic to milk and 2 million to eggs.
