AllerMates -- AllerMates is a brand of allergy, asthma, and health awareness products for kids featuring a cast of friendly characters called the AllerMates. AllerMates products include alert wristbands as well as EpiPen®, Auvi-Q™, and asthma inhaler carrying cases. AllerMates products are available at CVS, Kmart, Walgreens, and other national and regional chains as well as at online.
AllerMates products were created by founder and CEO Iris Shamus, who sought education and alert products for her son after leaning he had food allergies and asthma, but could not find materials that helped him learn about his allergies. The AllerMates products alert others to your child's allergy, while making your child feel special.
As a way to increase awareness, Allermates has launched an online community. Registration for the AllerMates community offers separate distinct options for parents and caregivers or allergy related professionals like doctors, nurses, nutritionists and those providing goods and services to the community. Users can sign up here. Users can exchange experiences, seek advice, post recipes, get breaking news and alerts, make friends, share photos and videos, use the “ask the doctor platform,” and create a strong support network of allies among others dealing with allergies and asthma. The community is easy to join and to use. It features the friendly images of AllerMates characters that have made the products so popular among children and their parents.
