This is Food Allergy Awareness Week, and its a great time to learn more about food allergies, both for parents of kids with food allergies and people who are simply around kids with food allergies.

It is also a good time to clear up many food allergy myths, including the myth that food allergies aren't serious or that they aren't real. Unfortunately, there are about 150 deaths a year from severe allergic reactions to foods each year, including many children.

That makes learning about managing food allergies and preventing food allergies important.

The "danger" of bounce houses was recently in the news. Although millions of children safely have fun in bounce houses, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has reported that injuries related to bounce houses and inflatable slides are on the rise.

You don't want your child to live in a bubble or walk around wearing a helmet at all times, but remember that the more chances you take, the more likely your child will be injured or killed by an accident.

Learn more about some of the more hidden dangers to your child's safety, such as playing in a bounce house unsupervised, while older kids or adults are also bouncing, or in a bounce house that is simply unsafe.
