Food allergies can have a significant impact on children's daily lives, affecting their physical health, emotional well-being, and social interactions. For example, a child with a severe peanut allergy may experience anxiety and fear of accidental exposure, leading to limitations in participating in activities such as school events, birthday parties, and dining out with friends and family.
