Tanya- Ednan-Laperouse, Mother of late Natasha-Ednan-Laperouse had said that ‘These terrifying figures show we are facing an Allergy emergency’ as ‘The number of Children with allergies and suffering allergic reactions’ is on the rise.

According to BBC News online, it’s said that scientists say that ‘Environmental factors’ play a big part as to why many children suffer from more allergies.

It’s said that the cause of severe allergic reactions is usually from foods such as, fish, nut’s, shellfish, dairy products, and sometimes from a bees or a wasp sting are the most common.

They say that ‘Even the tiniest exposure’ to any of these allergens can set anyone prone to an Anaphylaxis reaction to having difficulty in breathing. Scientists believe that dietary changes play a huge role in this as well as exposure to pollution and microbes.

When Natasha-Ednan-Laperouse was dying her last few words to her father after he gave her an EpiPen twice was,’Daddy, help me, I Still Can’t breathe’.

Her Parents have campaigned for a law, which is said to be finalized in 2021 and is for restaurants/many food retailers, to have a list of all ingredients on all pre-packed foods.

Mr and Mrs Ednan Laperouse say that any Anaphylactic ingredients would be put on the list too.

They’re known to have helped to create ‘Natasha’s Foundation.’

This charity was made to help locate the most effective remedies for others, like her, who suffer from severe Anaphylactic reactions to some food substances.

Professor of Allergy and Clinical Immunology at the University of Southampton, Hasan Arshad, said that there’s ‘A worrying increase in severe food allergy’ when looking at the figures over the past five years.

Mr. Ashad also said that ‘We should not forget that behind each of these numbers is a child or adult who has suffered the most severe consequences of an Anaphylactic shock.’
