His allergic reaction to shellfish in gumbo was sudden, and unexpected. He'd been eating gumbo his entire life.  \u003cbr/\u003eMaybe it was his resourcefulness as an elite athlete, or his ability to focus even in the most dire circumstances. But Peterson knew what to do two years ago when a severe allergy attack hit at Vikings training camp. \u003cbr/\u003e\"I called my athletic trainer and told him some of the symptoms that I was having,\" Peterson said. \"He came in and he had two EpiPen autoinjectors and he showed me briefly how to administer them to my thigh.\"\u003cbr/\u003eNow, Peterson wants to make sure everyone else knows how to react. Peterson has helped launch an educational program called Ready2Go for people with severe allergies. \u003cbr/\u003e\"It breaks down to two things,\" the 2012 NFL Most Valuable Player said Monday. \"First thing is being prepared and knowing your allergic triggers and symptoms. Then, having access to injections and using the EpiPens.\" \u003cbr/\u003ePeterson has now teamed with the pharmaceutical company Mylan Specialty on the project. As part of the campaign, three youngsters who have such health issues can win a trip to Minnesota's training camp this summer. \u003cbr/\u003eTermed the Ready2GoDraft, Mylan will conduct a nationwide search for kids aged 5 through 18 who have severe allergies. The youngsters will share their tips for being prepared in a 30-second video, each of which must mention how the child manages an anaphylaxis action plan.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe three winners will participate in a video/photo shoot with the star running back, and will get a trip to Minnesota's training camp. \u003cbr/\u003ePeterson also discussed his thoughts on safety equipment to help prevent head injuries in young players.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I definitely think it's safer with the technology. And now they have the Heads Up program to teach kids how to tackle right and not put themselves in vulnerable positions.\"\u003cbr/\u003ePeterson's interview with the Associated Press comes as the NFL is facing a lawsuit over the long-term health of its athletes.\u003cbr/\u003eA group of retired players have accused the league of supplying them with powerful painkillers and other drugs that kept them in the game but led to serious complications later in life.  \u003cbr/\u003e\"I don't know if that was explained to them back then. So there is a reason for their lawsuit and I don't know, I hope things work out in their favor, actually,\" Peterson said.\u003cbr/\u003ePeterson says his incredibly quick and productive return from torn knee ligaments has served as an inspiration to people. \u003cbr/\u003e\"It's humbling to be able to sit back and hear someone express to you how it just inspired them to just look at things totally different and have a totally different mindset.\"\u003cbr/\u003eNew York, June 2, 2014\u003cbr/\u003e1.
