Health scares are, well, scary. Be better prepared in an emergency—or help prevent them in the first place—with these four apps.

Allergy Free Entertaining
Allergies have become more and more prevalent in our everyday lives. Whether you're entertaining or not, this app can be very useful if you or someone you're cooking for has allergies. The database of recipes has gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, and nut-free recipes.

First Aid by American Red Cross
Not sure what to do in an emergency? Just download the first app from the American Red Cross. The app provides step by step instructions so you know just what to do in case of an emergency, along with helpful videos.

UPC Food Scanner
Certain allergens can be hard to spot on nutrition labels. If missed, they could cause serious allergic reactions. Avoid that by using the UPC Food Scanner. This helpful app lets you scan the barcode of a product and warns you if any ingredients could be harmful to you.

iTriage
Not sure if your symptoms are serious? Just search on iTriage for all your health questions. See possible causes of your symptoms along with treatment options. The app gives you information on the nearest health care centers and can even set up appointments for you.
