Pulling the Pin: Stories of Anaphylaxis and Epinephrine

Using your auto-injector is NOT like pulling the pin on a grenade! In this episode, we share our experiences with anaphylaxis and how we let fear cloud our understanding of the relief brought by proper treatment, including epinephrine. Anaphylaxis can be scary, but it doesn’t have to be. Preparation is key. We discuss the steps we take and the tools we have in place for when a reaction hits. Join us for an open conversation on preparing for the worst case scenario. To learn more about allergy & anaphylaxis emergency plans visit FAACT:https://www.foodallergyawareness.org/food-allergy-and-anaphylaxis/what-is-anaphylaxis/allergy-and-anaphylaxis-emergency-plans/
