Realizing that there was no clear way to help easily communicate her son’s health concerns, Iris Shamus created AllerMates in 2009 as a way to educate and alert others about a child's allergy or health concern, while also empowering them and making them feel good and safe. AllerMates is now a growing line of allergy & medical bracelets, colorful medicine cases and more, to help bring awareness and keep families safe.
Iris and/or AllerMates have been featured in many places including Fox News, the Doctors, Veria Living, MSNBC, The Today Show & the Huffington Post.
Based in New York, Iris & her team design & ship their products, create informative content & obsess every day about living safely :)
