beware bandits help keep kids with severe allergies safe
As kids headed back to school, parents of children with severe food or medical allergies have the dreaded task of establishing the necessary procedures to ensure safety away from home. It’s extremely scary and stressful for parents navigating play dates, sleep overs and after school activities.
Our girls are allergy free, however they each have a friend who suffers from tree nut allergies. There have been several incidents when the friends been exposed accidentally to tree nuts that were hidden in processed gluten and wheat free foods like cereal, granola bars and tortillas. I’ve noticed that many times these foods are made from brown rice. Another reason it’s imperative to READ labels.
It’s so important parents take every step to keep children with allergies safe, whether it’s your own child or someone in your care. Recently Beware Bandits sent me information on their medical alert bracelets for kids that are a fun, fashionable alternative for standard medical alert bracelet.
How are Beware Bandits different? Most kids don’t like or even refuse to wear typical medical alert bracelets that are ugly, clunky and even create a stigma that can prompt other kids to tease. The lack of available medical information puts the child in danger when an allergic reaction or medical condition occurs.
Beware Bandits are an innovative, easy-to-use medical alert bracelet for kids with allergies and health issues that they will love wearing. These bright, colorful wristbands feature fun characters that match the child’s specific allergy or condition to help to easily identify his/her medical challenge.
The best feature? The Beware Bandits are a great reminder for friends, teachers, classmates, family, guardians and care takers to keep a watchful eye out for potentially harmful allergic reactions and health issues that a child (or teen or adult) might have.
The adjustable bands are made with a Latex-free band, and nickel-free snaps to provide comfort that will survive the toughest of activities during a child’s daily routine. The bands even provide additional information and the medical challenge on the back.
