PUBLIC DOMAIN Death lurks in first kisses, in almond butter jars and in movie theatre popcorn for 18-year-old Kristen Pittaro, a freshman psychology major at Stony Brook University.  Allergies are not limited to the kitchen. They follow her around to makeup stores, restaurants and outings with her boyfriend. They push her grocery and hospital bills exceptionally high. They feast on her mental health and are a source of her anxiety. As an adolescent, she recalls panicking over “that first kiss moment, being almost there and then thinking, wait, what did you eat today?”  Food allergies in children have skyrocketed 50% between 1997 and 2011, according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. Roughly two children in every classroom have food allergies and a third of those children are bullied as a result, according to statistics collected by Food Allergy Research & Education.
