by Catherine Hobson
Living with a serious allergy can make even everyday situations feel fraught with danger – but an allergy shouldn’t stop you living life to the full. Take Away the Fear shows you how to navigate daily life safely and without anxiety, from birth to adulthood. Drawing on her own experiences of living with life-threatening food allergies, Catherine Hobson offers practical, real-world tips for everyday life, including parenting, eating out and travelling abroad, as well as advice for those supporting someone with allergies or working in the hospitality industry. Understand how to: • Identify hidden threats • Develop coping strategies • Prepare for different scenarios, such as workplace situations or eating at a friend’s house • Prevent allergic reactions – and deal with the aftershock if they do occur • Provide support to others living with serious allergies
