🍑 A peach allergy can cause itchy mouth, hives, or even anaphylaxis—and because peach allergens are heat-stable, cooked peaches can still trigger symptoms. Cross-reactivity with birch pollen and other stone fruits is common, so watch for reactions with plums, cherries, and apricots, too.

🍚 A rice allergy is rare but real—triggering reactions from hives and stomach upset to serious breathing issues. Cross-reactivity with pollens can also play a role, and even rice steam may cause symptoms. If you’re rice-allergic, strict avoidance and preparedness are critical.

👦💡 Sometimes the smallest voices spark the biggest change!
Meet Jared, a young boy with food allergies who turned inspiration into action. After seeing playground signs reminding kids to protect friends with allergies, Jared worked with his local leaders 🏛️ to install similar signs in his hometown.

Now, children in his community are more mindful about where they eat 🍎—making play spaces safer, cleaner, and more allergy-friendly for everyone. 🛝✨

💛 Jared’s story is proof that awareness + action = impact!
