Children are often stigmatized by their food allergies -- such as by having to eat at a separate lunch table at school. This can often lead to bullying and teasing by their classmates. In fact, more than 30% of children with food allergies have been harassed by their peers at school. While most of these acts are verbal, 40% are reported as physical threats with their trigger food.
