A quick read that contains not only a personal account of what life is like with multiple food allergies, but information about the discovery of food allergies, current research, both historical and modern treatments, and a bit of what the political and social climate is like for those with multiple food allergies. I was especially interested in reading about the different programs and safety ideas available to school age children with multiple food allergies--they've certainly come a long way from when I was a kid! The author has an excellent sense of humor, and has definitely had an interesting life. Recommended.
