Managing Allergic Reactions (1): Using an epipen... and how NOT to do it!

[@hopeseeker1997]

Thank you for this demonstration. It really was easy to understand and hopefully I won't have to use it on myself someday!

[@gentlemanjahcheffy]

no but if one leg is done and after 20 minutes the symtoms return u switch legs on the second injection, hope this helps.

I have severe allergies to grass and trees. I’m taking allergy shots and today after my shot I have a severe reaction. It was so scary. Thankfully I was there cause I have to wait 30 min after my shot.

[@darrenharris504]

does it matter which leg

[@nabilatahseen9126]

Doesn't matter.

[@MagicMumUK]

There is no mention of massaging the leg for 10 seconds after administering the adrenaline. Nor do you give advice on what to do if a second dose is needed. Could you please offer best practice?

My granddaughter has anaphylactic reactions to bananas, and this video is so easy to understand that we ask people who have to look after her (such as the school) to watch it.

[@njf669x]

Yes bananas...i have just today been told my anaphylaxis is down to nuts and bananas from a skin allergy test...i hope your grandaughter is ok..:-)

Hey, ive just had an epipen from the doctors today after having an allergic reaction to nuts from eating a cereal bar that a friend had given me and after having a small bite i had reacted to it but thankfully because it was a small bite it wasnt as effective but i still had a reaction, anyway im just wanting to know iv it hurts because i have a very small fear of things like this

[@wemuk5170]

It hurts a tiny bit but if you don’t jab it into your thigh when you cannot breathe, the consultant told me that my son will die in less than 5 minutes. Ambulance came within 2 minutes but sometimes they don’t. So, some pain or sure death, you decide.🧐

[@laurelcook9078]

It hurts a whole lot less than organ failure. (I don’t have food allergies, I’m just here because it’s 1 am and I’m curious lol.)
