<em>SquareOff</em> features AllerGen investigator speaking on banning foods in schools

squareDr. Paul Keith, an AllerGen investigator and president of the CSACI (Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology), recently discussed anaphylaxis and the role of banning foods in schools with SquareOff, a Hamilton-based daily news show.

“What you have to do is teach the child not to eat anything that may be contaminated with the food that they’re anaphylactic to,” says Dr. Keith, an associate professor at McMaster University. “The school board must look at each situation individually and do what is right for that child.”
