I address food allergy related anxiety with families all the time in the office.
Some have very little. Others are gripped with fear.
I like to ask those with less anxiety if they have tips for other families.
Most common answer: Stay away from social media.

Did you know that wearing an N95 face mask can reduce COVID transmission by over 83%, a surgical mask by 66% and a cloth mask by 50%?
Case and hospitalisation numbers show Victoria is entering a new COVID wave.

I work at 2 major public hospital systems here in Melbourne. My nursing colleagues are utterly exhausted. The relentless waves of illnesses have been really hard on them. It may look fine on the outside but certainly a real struggle on the inside. Let’s be kind to each other.

My message to every mother of a child who has food allergies:
It is not your fault.
We don't fully know why some children develop food allergies but maternal diet during pregnancy or breast feeding has no impact. #FoodAllergyAwarenessWeek #MothersDay

I created this image to map out common emotions during the experience of receiving a #foodallergy diagnosis. These then lead to narratives that guide how we navigate this adjustment. The key is knowing we CAN alter these narratives to connect with ones that work better for us!

Commercially available early introduction food products often contain allergens at much lower levels that do not actually contribute to development of tolerance to that food. Reactions have occurred later when actual serving size is ingested. #AAAAI22
