RELATIONSHIPS & DATING
Having food allergies can complicate one's relationship. You have to make sure they avoid your allergens before kissing you, and when going on dates, it can be difficult finding a restaurant that can cater to your allergies.
​
When you are in a relationship, make sure you alert your significant other about your food allergies. You should teach them how to inject epinephrine in case an unexpected allergic reaction occurs.
