Medical ID jewelry for kids with health issues

Do kids really need medical ID jewelry?  And, presuming they do, will they wear it?

Medical alert jewelry for children with serious pre-existing conditions

Some children absolutely do need medical alert jewelry.

Children with diabetes, medication or food allergies, asthma, and other life-threatening conditions should have the protection medical alert jewelry affords.  In an emergency, when the child might be panicked or unconscious,  medical ID can provide vital information to medics, clearly, accurately and without delay.

Such children, because their health issues are serious or even life-threatening, are best served by traditional medical jewelry.  Medical personnel, who are trained to look for such jewelry, will instantly recognize a Caduceus medical alert bracelet or ID pendant.  A less conventional shoelace tag or beaded anklet might take longer, or possibly be overlooked altogether.  

The bottom line is, don't take chances.  The more serious the medical risk, the more serious the medical jewelry needs to be.
