🍌Updated factsheet - Banana Allergy 🍌

We're excited to share our updated accredited Banana Allergy Factsheet.

Despite not being part of the food allergens, banana allergy is possible. Due to cross-reactivity with latex it could also mean you can react to avocado, kiwi or chestnuts. You might also experience oral reactions to other fruits such as peach, olive and tomato, and raw vegetables such as bell pepper and carrot.

Also in this factsheet:
👉 What is banana allergy?
👉 Symptoms of banana allergy
👉 Getting an allergy diagnosis
👉 Managing banana allergy.

Study Fire Safety this Freshers' Week!

Our next set of fire safety tips for students is all about electrical fire safety.

Electrical Fire Safety 101:
🔌Do not overload electrical plug sockets and remember to switch off electrical products like hair dryers or hair straighteners when not in use.
🔌Don’t leave phones, tablets and laptops on your bed. If a fire were to start, it could spread rapidly, so only charge your devices on a flat, solid surface.
🔌Do not leave devices like phones, tablets and laptops unattended while charging. Unplug the devices before you go to sleep.
