Kids miss nearly 8 million school days and adults miss almost 11 million work days annually because of it, with Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous communities carrying the heaviest burden. On top of that, more than 20 million Americans have food allergies, and children with food allergies are 2 to 4 times more likely to also have asthma.
