Summary

Living with food allergy may result in anxiety and reduced quality of life. Food allergic patients and their families are often concerned about casual exposure with the offending allergen through skin contact or being near the offending food, which is actually very low risk. This concern can limit social activities and increase stress. The aim of this study is to provide a behavioral intervention consisting of having peanut/tree nut allergic patients hold a cup with a peanut or tree nut to which the patient is allergic to and touching it. The goal is to reduce anxiety about casual exposure to food allergens and improve quality of life for patients with food allergies and their families.
