I wear a Survival Sprap medical info bracelet

A friend of mine is an emergency room doc. He suggested that I look up www.survivalstraps.com as an alternative to a metal bracelet.

They are a fine company which worked with me to get key info on my bracelet. Have been wearing one of these all the time for more than 2 years.

I am allergic to shellfish so the info is plain and easy to understand.

If you have a complicated situation, you may need a bracelet with a telephone and/or online data base.

The vital issue is that you have to wear it 100% of the time. You can't go without.

I wore metal bracelets for years, they worked fine. I may get a linked dog tag style medical ID as I get older. Belt and suspenders.

Good luck!
