\nAnaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death. \n \nFor many children, the symptoms of allergy are mild. However, occasionally the symptoms are severe and they may even be life-threatening. The common causes of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) include foods such as peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, shellfish, fish, sesame seeds and kiwi fruit, although many other foods have been known to trigger anaphylaxis. Peanut allergy is particularly common – with one in 70 children nationwide thought to be affected. \n \nNon-food causes of anaphylaxis include wasp or bee stings, natural latex (rubber) and certain drugs such as penicillin. \n \nThe good news is that even the most severe form of allergy is manageable. The vast majority of the children affected are happily accommodated in mainstream schools thanks to good communication between parents, school staff, doctors and education authorities. With sound precautionary measures and support from the staff, school life may continue as normal for all concerned. \nWhat are the signs and symptoms of anaphylactic shock?
\nAnaphylactic shock typically causes more than one of the following:
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n-
\n
- suddenly feeling too warm \n
- skin reactions such as itchy skin, hives, flushed skin, or pale skin \n
- shortness of breath \n
- throat, lips or tongue swelling \n
- feeling like you have a lump in your throat or difficulty swallowing \n
- nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea \n
- abdominal pain \n
- a weak and rapid pulse \n
- lightheadedness, dizziness and drop in blood pressure \n
- runny nose and sneezing. \n
What are the most common causes of anaphylaxis?
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\nAnaphylaxis can be caused by any or a combination of the following:
\n-
\n
- Foods such as peanuts, nuts, fish and shellfish \n
- Certain medications, including antibiotics, aspirin and other over-the-counter pain relievers, and the intravenous (IV) contrast used in some imaging tests \n
- Stings from bees, yellow jackets, wasps, hornets and fire ants \n
- Latex. \n
What is Epipen training?
\nThis medication is used in emergencies to treat very serious allergic reactions to insect stings/bites, foods, drugs, or other substances. Epinephrine acts quickly to improve breathing, stimulate the heart, raise dropping blood pressure, reverse hives, and reduce swelling of the face, lips, and throat.
\nIt is essential that all teachers, nursery staff, school nurses and those who work with children should complete paediatric anaphylaxis training, including the safe use of adrenaline injections such as Epipen Junior, Jext and Emerade.

\n
\nCan an EpiPen stop an asthma attack?
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\nIn the event of an emergency (where the child may be experiencing an asthma attack or severe allergic reaction), use EpiPen ® first (or other adrenaline/epinephrine injections such as Jext or Emerade). After using the epinephrine injection, follow medical instructions for controlling asthma.
\n \nWhy is anaphylaxis training important?
\nEvery school, nursery or early years setting is likely to have at least one pupil who is severely allergic to a type of food, and many schools will have more. It is essential that all teachers, nursery staff and others who work with children have appropriate training to enable them to recognise and manage severe allergic reactions in schools and community settings. \n \nFor many children, the symptoms of allergy are mild. However, occasionally the symptoms are severe and may even be life-threatening. The common causes of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) include foods such as peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, shellfish, fish, sesame seeds and kiwi fruit. Non-food causes of anaphylaxis include wasp or bee stings, natural latex (rubber) and drugs such as penicillin. \n \nOur online anaphylaxis training course for schools was designed to ensure that key members of staff in schools are fully aware of the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, how to provide emergency treatment and the implications for management of severely allergic children from Key Stages 1 to 5 in an education setting. \n \nHow to access your anaphylaxis training for schools course
