One weekend morning I happened to see a PBS television program titled "Keeping Kids Healthy" with Dr. Winnie King. I was interested because Dr. King's guests were a mom and her young son who was severely allergic to peanuts. I am somewhat familiar with peanut allergy in children. However, I learned that this allergy is not as unusual as I had originally thought.



Although I have no young children at home, watching this show reminded me just how fragile a childs health is. Below is the URL for Keeping Kids Healthy and other sites that address children's illnesses. I am showing the actual URL's so that you may print this page and still have the information you need. To view now simply copy any URL and place it in your searchbox.
