Villager of the Month: Ria Sharon, Check My Tag
The first recipient of the Villager of the Month accolade is Ria Sharon
of CheckMyTag. I have seen Ria everywhere this week. I visit many sites
in my 'rounds' and over the past two weeks I have noticed numerous
cases of Ria posting comments promoting Food Allergy Awareness Week.
She also posted a great collection of stories about food allergy on her
blog, stories she collected from other bloggers and friends
specifically for this occasion. Her efforts were creative and made a
valuable contribution to food allergy awareness. Ria has a line of
alert products for allergic kids. The business is about a year old and
was started after her 13-month-old had an anaphylactic reaction.
Congratulations and thank you Ria!

Check My Tag for My Allergies
www.allergizer.com
Some children's garments such as jackets, raincoats, and bags have tags stitched on the
inner side, usually indicating the owner's name and address. This is especially
important for identification, say in kindergarten, where kids may interchange their
stuff, or in case of loss. A mother, whose child once suffered from anaphylactic shock
took the idea one step further: tags which additionally indicate the wearer's allergies.

Medical Alert Clothing Supports Families with Celiac Disease
www.theopenpress.com
When people with celiac disease eat foods or use products containing gluten, the gluten triggers an autoimmune response that
damages the small intestine. The immune system produces antibodies that attack the gluten but also attack the villi of
the small intestine, causing damage and a variety of illnesses.
Toddlers with Celiac Disease and their families must practice strict avoidance of gluten, found in a wide variety of
foods. Accidental exposure can cause a myriad of health problems. Check My Tag clothes are designed to help prevent
accidental exposure to problem foods with a visible emblem on each garment alerting caregivers to the presence of a
medical condition. The product line provides parents of toddlers with Celiac Disease peace of mind that a visible
reminder accompanies their child when they cannot. See full story
