\"Staff<\/a>Staff Training: Food Allergies & Anaphylaxis in School \u2013 What School Staff Need to Know<\/a><\/strong>\n

This 30 minute module is designed to assist the school nurse in staff training of management of life-threatening allergic reactions and increase food allergy awareness for all school staff including teachers, food service personnel, administrators, aides, specialists, coaches, bus drivers, custodians and others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

FOOD ALLERGY MYTH<\/h2>\n

\u201cGive antihistamine first when treating anaphylaxis.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FOOD ALLERGY FACT<\/h2>\n

Epinephrine is the first line treatment for anaphylaxis. Antihistamines are slow to act and haven\u2019t been shown to prevent or stop anaphylaxis.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

COMMENTARY:<\/h2>\n

Epinephrine is the treatment of choice for anaphylaxis. \u00a0Delays in the administration of epinephrine are associated with an increased risk of death. \u00a0Antihistamines do not treat life threatening symptoms; therefore if used then antihistamines CANNOT be allowed to delay the use of epinephrine (NIAID Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Food Allergy in the United States<\/a>). \u00a0All staff should be familiar with and have access to the emergency care plans of any student that they are responsible for. All staff should be trained to recognize allergic reactions and know their role in the school emergency protocol.<\/p>\n
