Like a defibrillator, but for allergies.
Allergy is a condition where the immune system overreacts to a normally harmless substance, such as pollen, dust mites, or food. When this happens, an immune response is produced which releases chemicals, such as histamine, causing inflammation and irritation in the body.
You can be allergic to anything, and develop an allergy to anything at any time in your life. Allergies are very common, and they can cause a wide range of symptoms.
Scientists believe that environmental factors, such as pollution and climate change, may be contributing to the increasing prevalence of allergies in recent years.
It’s important to note that allergies and intolerances are not the same thing. An intolerance is when your body simply lacks the enzyme required to break down a certain food, such as milk, which can lead to bloating, headaches, tiredness, and other unpleasant symptoms.
Anaphylaxis Kitts come with a subscription supply of 2x 150mcg & 2x 300mcg adrenaline pens, catering for all ages. In line with the latest BSACI guidance – Always having two of each AAI dose is essential as sometimes treating anaphylaxis requires multiple shots of adrenaline.
The Kitts are designed with colour-coded slots for easy storage and access to the adrenaline pens, alongside clearly written instructions of dose, age and weight guidance, and graphics which walkthrough the full treatment process.
All schools are going to take delivery of these anaphylaxis kitts.
