SByMaureen Quinlan Durham Region now has, an AII&y Information Association ,to help deal! with' allergy po blems and solutions. p "We want the public te be aware we are here te educate and poide nformnation," says Sue Driver, president of Allergy Information Association (AIM) The group of 64 members plansto meet three to four times a year and exist 'as. a reference for people who have queastions and concerns about allergies. «Its like a library. You name it -- I have the information," says Driver.: Driver wants te, focus' on allergy awareness for caregivers, day ,cares and teachers. ' The A has been'responsible fore such- breakthroughs as the labeling of ingredients of food at somne restaurants and the label- ing of what fibres make up Our clothing. f For a limited time certain re staurants in, Toronto Çad a îist of what they p ut in their food, for people who h ave allergic reac- tions te certain food types. «When my son and 1 go out the only thing hie can usually have on the menu is french fies,»" ys Driver. Driver's son has anaphylais, and if he eats so much as one peanut' it could mean the dif- ference between life or death for him. He has a card that hie carrnes te -restaurants that identifies him as a person with anaphy- laxis and déscribes what he can anid cannot eat., But Driver says the proble m is that many restaurant staff aren't aware of what's in the food that they serve. «Some of 'them have no idea -if something has been cooked in peanut ouf or not, and I just can7t take. that' chance because he could die,î'» says Drivier. SAnother problemi that -Driver finds is that there is no labeling on the drugs that she buys fo6r her son. 1But the *A is working out waysthey can help those in the community with anaphylais.
