Allergies
Pollenallergi, laktosintolerans, adrenalinpenna — allergies in daily Swedish life.
Allergy Sweden, in season order: pollen first (the national spring drama, complete with forecasts), then food allergies and the label-reading life, then the serious end — anaphylaxis and the adrenaline pen — and finally the child who learns to ask before eating. The vocabulary of ingredient lists and förskola paperwork included.
