WHAT IS ANAPHYLAXIS?
Anaphylaxis is when your immune system releases chemicals that can cause you to go into shock. Your blood pressure drops suddenly and your airways narrow, blocking breathing. Now that you know this you can understand why food allergies are VERY VERY SERIOUS!!!!
WHAT IS AN EPIPEN®?
It is an auto-injector that gives you epinephrine. Auto-Injectors are for the emergency treatment of life-threatening allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) caused by allergens, exercise, or unknown triggers; and for people who are at increased risk for these reactions. EpiPens® are intended for immediate administration as emergency supportive therapy only. Seek immediate emergency medical help right away.
