A member asked:
What should be engraved on my medical id bracelet if possible allergy to food?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need: You don't need a medical bracelet for a food allergy. The purpose of the bracelet is to notify doctors of your condition if you're unconscious or can't speak for yourself. In such cases, it seems unlikely that they're going to force a peanut butter sandwich or some raw shellfish down your throat.
