Food Allergies

Please Don’t Pass the Nuts
www.AllergicGirl.blogspot.com

“It’s a shame that so many have no clue about something so basic as allergies,” writes New York-based “Allergic Girl” in this blog about her travails navigating severe allergies to tree nuts, fish and several other foods, as well as allergic asthma. This well-written blog aims to educate and advocate “with charm and persistence.” It provides a list of allergen-free foods, reviews of allergy sensitive restaurants in New York and other places the author has traveled, and interviews with chefs on their tips for diners with allergies.
While most of the blog deals directly with the author’s dietary experiences, she includes posts about her social life and travels, or reviews of movies or plays she has seen. But it’s all connected. The blog, she writes, “is a testament to going out despite being afraid of getting allergic to something; leaving my safe zone to try something new despite the risk I may get sick.”
