Allergytrails Helps People With Food Allergies Have Safe Experiences – One Review At a Time
Safety, confidence, and certainty – these are three of the emotions that individuals and families affected by food allergies crave most in life. But for those with multiple, or severe, food allergies, those positive feelings can be difficult to come by. In fact, the emotions that often dominate the lives of people who have been newly diagnosed with food allergies are the polar opposite. Anxiety, worry, and frustration often plague the minds of these individuals.
Unfortunately, food allergies are on the rise, and so is the stress that comes with them. Food allergies are exponentially more prevalent today than they were just a few decades ago. Yet, as allergy prevalence increases, so does demand for products and services that have been designed to help those with an allergic affliction. One such service is the review community at AllergyTrails.com. AllergyTrails specializes in providing allergy reviews to the growing food allergy community.
Launched in 2011, AllergyTrails is now the world’s most trusted food allergy review community. Similar to the way in which individuals find it useful to read and write reviews about regular visits to restaurants and hotels, individuals affected by food allergies have a need to know how certain establishments handle allergy situations. This information is best gathered from those that have already “been there”, which is the reason why reviews strictly in the context of food allergies are so effective. When health and safety is on the line, elements of a restaurant experience such as the taste of the food served and the restaurant’s atmosphere are subservient to rating criteria such as “comfort level” and “allergy awareness of the restaurant”. An individual affected by a food allergy has a different calculus than that of an individual with no food allergies, when rating an overall restaurant experience. It is not surprising that a niche review community such as AllergyTrails appeals so powerfully to the global food allergy community.
While adhering to a policy of constant vigilance is always necessary for those with allergies, life might just be getting a little bit easier for those affected with the condition. Users can now rate their experiences interacting with restaurants, airlines, hotels, cruises, and attractions worldwide on AllergyTrails. While not all individuals are affected by the same allergens, finding out that a restaurant handles one type of allergy impeccably well often leads to the awareness that the restaurant has the capability to handle many diverse food allergy situations with relative ease. In other words, if a restaurant is wonderful at handling an almond allergy, chances are good that they can also deal with a sesame allergy effectively.
The team behind AllergyTrails.com believes that while individuals affected by food allergies may not be able to eat safely at every restaurant allergies do not have to stop them from eating at all restaurants. The reality is that some restaurants do handle allergy situations well. The trick has always been finding them.
