Abstract	Some 600,000 children in the US are allergic to peanuts. Of 400 elementary school nurses, 44% cite increased food-allergic students in the past five years. Peanut allergy doubled in children from 1997 to 2002, and yet peanuts are only one of six foods most often causing allergic reactions in children, including milk, eggs, wheat, soy, and tree nuts. According to the American Medical Association, schools must provide increased student education on the danger of food allergies, have emergency food allergy guidelines and anaphylaxis kits on site, and have at least one school administrator trained and certified in allergy symptoms and preventive techniques. This article discusses the nationwide development plans for managing food allergies in schools. (ERIC).
