While I must steer clear of nuts, I've never let that affect my travel plans, although I imagine I'd have to be prepared if I ever make it to the land of the curry and cashews. So, what do you do if you're headed somewhere and have to keep an eye on your allergies?
CNN has a great list up, which suggests everything from the classic "talk to the chef," to traveling with cards that list your allergies in the language spoken at your destination. How neat is that? Just buy the card you need, and you won't have to worry about trying to translate yourself and accidentally telling someone you're allergic to shoes instead of shellfish.
I'm one of those people who is pretty laid back about their allergy, and even I see the benefit of this. Do you want to get stuck in some foreign hospital, or die before you finish your vacation? How inconvenient!
