Happy Thursday! A few quick hits:
- Carol Cochran, the national School Nurse of the Year, wants to call attention to the issue of school nurse shortages in public schools nationwide. According to the article, only thirteen states met the recommended ratio of one nurse per 750 students in a public school setting. And as Cochran points out in the interview, leaving school nurses overworked may mean that kids with food allergies and asthma will only have access to nurses in emergency situations. Read the article, then share your thoughts: what's the situation in your kid's school?
- Epicurious, the web portal of Gourmet and Bon Appétit magazines, has posted an extensive guide to gluten-free baking, including decadent-looking recipes and a guide to a gluten-free pantry. Looking for a more general allergy cooking guide? Check out my new food allergy cooking primer.
- And last but certainly not least, thanks to Leslea Harmon of Allergyware for including me on the latest edition of the Allergy News Podcast. Leslea's blog and podcast are a terrific resource for parents living with food allergies, and it was a real pleasure to talk with her. Go check it out!
