I am allergic to peanuts and this would really help me. You can put it in your food and it tells you if there are any allergens in it. The red light flashes if there are, and the green light flashes if there are not. I think in the future this would really help other people too who are also allergic to things. Also, it is made out of purple and green metal.

Your allergy sensor would be very helpful and could be vital to people with serious allergies. They could take it around with them wherever they go, and so they can test any food, anywhere. This could be the future for allergy testing in restaurants, well done, keep inventing!
