Allerbling - Food Allergy Awareness Bracelet

I received a Full Allerbling Kit yesterday that came with 2 bands, 1 medical cross and 8 colorful food allergy charms. The charms included in this pack are  the top 8 most common food allergies. You can find additional allergy alert charms on their website. I like that it comes with two sized bands because this can grow with your child and the charms are easily interchangeable.  I notice that you can only have 4 food allergy charms on one bracelet, however, you do have the option to remove the red medical cross if you need to add another one and the imprint of the cross is still visible on the wrist band. In my opinion, if you need to remove the red medical cross, the bracelet would still stand out without any problems.  But it is advised to use the red medical cross if at all possible. If you have a child with all of the top 8 allergies then you can purchase additional bracelets for them to wear for $5.00 each. The Full Allerbling Kit is $18.00.

I really like the colors on this bracelet. They really stand out and the charms are very noticeable and easy to read. This is a great starter bracelet for ages 3 to 8 years old or for children who are just not ready to wear the metal bracelets or necklaces. During the younger years, we are also still discovering and learning about what our children may or may not be allergic to. The bracelets are great because a new allergy charm can be added if a new allergy is discovered or removed for those who have grown out of certain allergies. Once you get the engraved medical ID, it is much harder to make adjustments.

I read a story today about a 9 year old boy named Hayden Wilamen.  He had died after eating a cereal that he had eaten almost daily.  Unfortunately, he and his family were not aware of his peanut allergy.  This story deeply saddens me.  I was thinking about this as I rocked my Hayden like I do every night before bed.  This is my quiet time when I think.  I remember doing the same thing when I heard about the death of 7 year old Ammaria Johnson.  I always think about the great pain that these families must be experiencing and my sadness will never ever compare to theirs. 

I usually only post things on this site regarding allergies, but tonight I am thinking about my cousin and I want to share his story with you.  When I hear the stories of parents losing their children at such a young age, I often think about my Aunt and Uncle and the great pain that they must face every day.  My cousin past away in his sleep on June 22, 2001 from a rare heart condition(Cardiac Conduction Disorder).  He was only 15 years old.  I will never forget getting that phone call. 

I hope none of us ever experience losing a child.  Don't forget to kiss your children every night and be thankful that they are here with you. 

Here is his story: Michael Joseph Pangallo
