\"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

\u201cYou need to call an ambulance because epinephrine is dangerous.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FOOD ALLERGY FACT<\/h2>\n

All people experiencing anaphylaxis should be taken to the emergency department by ambulance. Epinephrine is short acting and additional epinephrine, as well as additional medical care, may be needed. Epinephrine is not dangerous and has mild side effects.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

COMMENTARY:<\/h2>\n

Expected side effects of epinephrine are paleness, shakiness, fast heartbeat. Some people may get a headache or experience nausea. Going to the emergency department by ambulance instead of car is important, as emergency personnel can give additional care while driving safely to the hospital. Those that experienced anaphylaxis should be observed for 4 to 6 hours or longer based on severity of the reaction to monitor for biphasic anaphylaxis.<\/p>\n
