Food Allergies

A thought came to me today.Why not open a store geared to people who suffer from food allergies in the state in which I live. I have been dealing with food allergies just about all my life. My uncle suffers from Tree nuts, my mother suffers from strawberries and my brother suffer from fish, peanuts and tree nuts. Above all my 5 year old son who has had 4 times of a close call of his peanut, tree nut, and sesame seed allergy. It is so hard trying to find hollaween candy, christmas, birthday candy for my son. last Feb my youngest daughter had a school birthday party and their father didn't realize that the cup cakes he brought had traces of peanuts. It was a sad day for my son who sat and 4 yrs old and watch everyone else eat these cup cakes. To see the picture of him nearly broke my heart. If anyone read this article this is what families suffer from everyday. I will look more into opening a store for families who can know that they can find treats for their children as well as adults....
