Parents lack adrenaline know-how
Hospital admissions due to anaphylaxis – a potentially life-threatening form of allergic reaction – have soared by 615 per cent during the last two decades according to statistics from Allergy UK, yet a recent survey by Bausch & Lomb has suggested that more than two thirds of parents, who have a child with anaphylaxis, wouldn’t know where to inject adrenaline in a life or death situation. If you or your child is affected by anaphylaxis, ask your GP about auto-injectors.
