"Making it easier to self carry life saving medicines ON you at ALL times" |
Should my son carry his epi's during school hours? The answer is simple, if your child is allergic to any kind of foods, insects or animals and the doctor gave you a prescription for epineprhine auto injectors it means they should carry the auto injectors on them at all times. Allowing them to let their guard down while in school, them. No one knows for sure how many severe food allergy anaphylaxis reactions could have been stopped before it was too late. What every one seems to agree with, is that in most cases it took too long to get injected with epinephrine. Unfortunately most knew about their allergies but were not carrying the epinephrine auto-injectors when the accidental ingestion took place. Most USA states have adopted the Epipen in every classroom law and even restaurants are considering it, which is fantastic for those that aren't aware of having anaphylaxis allergies. Unfortunately, this law is also making those already diagnosed with having anaphylaxis food allergies be less worried about leaving the epineprhine injectors at home. What happens after school? When the student gets a ride home, or stays in after school activities? Classrooms and nurses office do close and lock the doors not long after school is over. So if your child needs to stay in school a while longer because you are running late or wants to participate in an after school activity unless he/she has the epipen on them they are at risk. Food allergic anaphylactic reactions don't discriminate and can happen anytime anywhere, even when you have lived with them for a long time never had accidental exposure to the foods you are allergic to. Please help your child get used to self carrying their Epipen's or Auvi-Q auto injectors on them.
