In the unfortunate event of you forgetting to take your medication or have an attack as a result of being in contact with something you are allergic to, then you need to be able to inform the people around you of your condition. The most effective way to do it is by wearing silicone medical bracelets or safety ID. There is a wide range of products to accommodate people of all ages, including Child safety/ Child ID.
