REVIEW:
The Calgary Allergy Network was begun by a group of parents whose children have allergies. The Web site was started to pass along information about living with allergies, particularly life-threatening allergies (anaphylaxis). The organization offers support groups, videos, speakers, and other educational materials. The Web site has articles relating to allergies, including teacher guides for dealing with attacks. Links to educational resources include allergy handbooks, books, and other allergy Web sites. Educators should keep this site bookmarked for quick reference.
