Back-to-School Allergy Must-Haves

Allergy bedding can give your allergic children the rest they need to perform at their maximum potential. Pillow covers, mattress covers, and other bedding made from our exclusive Allergy Armor fabric keep dust mites and other allergens from entering the breathing zone during sleep. Allergy bedding is the first and most essential step in any allergen avoidance regimen. Many can testify of the allergy-free, restful nights – and the well-rested and productive days that follow them – brought on with the use of allergy bedding.

Dorm room bedding packages provide an allergy-free bed away from home. Your off-to-college child needs dorm bedding whether he has allergies or not. Our dust mite dorm bedding package provides all the bedding essentials with the added bonus of allergy relief. The package includes one hypoallergenic pillow with an Allergy Armor Cotton Blend pillow cover, one Allergy Armor Cotton Blend mattress cover, and one cozy Vellux blanket that will stand up to the rigorous use of dorm life.

Food allergy T-shirts and cards keep caretakers informed. When your food allergic child is under the supervision of others, it's crucial that their food allergy is at the forefront of their caretakers' minds especially when food is served. Food allergy T-shirts are particularly useful when adults who don't usually care for your children are in charge, such as substitute teachers or other parents during a field trip, for instance. Food allergy cards are best suited for older and more responsible children. Excellent for use in restaurants, they detail the particular allergy (cards are available for peanut, tree nuts, shellfish, milk/dairy, wheat/gluten, soy, and egg allergies), include information about cross-contamination, and list potential ingredients that may include the allergen. Food allergy cards are an excellent preventative item for food allergic college-bound kids to bring with them as they learn to live on their own.

Personal air purifiers give college students a pure air zone. Personal air purifiers like the Roomaid Air Purifier, Honeywell 17000, or the Alen T100 Desktop Air Purifier are essential for allergic college students who need pure, allergy-free air in their dorm rooms. Portable, unobtrusive, yet powerful, these air purifying units ensure a steady flow of allergen-free air as students study or take a break.

Protect EpiPens to be prepared for anaphylaxis. Even with the best of thinking ahead and every thought of avoiding allergens, exposure to foods that trigger anaphylaxis can still happen. Make sure EpiPens are well protected and easily accessible with the Protectube Auto Injector Case and Ana-Tote Auto Injector Case with optional adjustable belt. We hope these never need to be used, but having them handy has saved many lives.
