Charlotte Jude Schwartz hates being allergic to peanuts and tree nuts but, thanks to her mother's creativity about food, it's not too hard to stick to her allergy-free regimen. Mireille Schwartz is among many parents of food allergic children who are putting in extra time and money to make sure that their kids feel included in normal activities. Between $340 and $510 million per year is spent in the U.S. on treating food allergy reactions. This included emergency visits, office-based physician visits, and outpatient visits for reactions, as well as loss of earnings from not going to work to care for a sick child.
