ANAPHYLAXIS PROTECTING YOURSELF FROM SEVERE ALLERGIC REACTION Brought to you by the Camp Atterbury Directorate of Emergency Services

What is anaphylaxis? Anaphylaxis is a sudden, severe, potentially fatal, systemic allergic reaction that can involve various areas of the body (such as the skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and cardiovascular system). Symptoms occur within minutes to two hours after contact with the allergy-causing substance but, in rare instances, may occur up to four hours later.

Anaphylactic reactions can be mild to life threatening. The annual incidence of anaphylactic reactions is about 30 per 100,000 persons, and individuals with asthma, eczema, or hay fever are at greater relative risk of experiencing anaphylaxis.

What are the common causes of anaphylaxis? Common causes of anaphylaxis include: Food Medication Insect stings Latex Less common causes include: Food-Dependent Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis Idiopathic Anaphylaxis (reactions from unusual sources)

Who is at risk for having an anaphylactic reaction? Anyone with a previous history of anaphylactic reactions is at risk for another severe reaction. Individuals with food allergies (particularly allergies to shellfish, peanuts, and tree nuts) and asthma may be at increased risk for having a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction.

What are the symptoms of an anaphylactic reaction? An anaphylactic reaction may begin with a tingling sensation, itching, or metallic taste in the mouth. Other symptoms can include hives, a sensation of warmth, asthma symptoms, swelling of the mouth and throat area, difficulty breathing, vomiting, diarrhea, cramping, a drop in blood pressure, and loss of consciousness.

What if this happens here at Camp Atterbury? The most important thing to remember is to carry your prescribed Epipen. The Atterbury Fire/EMS personnel and the TMC carry this device, but application may be delayed by distance. This is time you or your battle buddy may not have.

TREATMENT 1.K eep patient calm and move to position of comfort 2.C ontact MP 1109 for evacuation to medical facility (be sure to inform of patient condition) 3.I f a stinger is still embedded in the skin of the patient, attempt to remove by scraping with a credit card or similar tool. DO NOT SQUEEZE as the patient may receive more venom. 4.B e sure to continually monitor patient for changes until evacuated.

A severe allergic reaction can happen to anyone…at any time. A severe allergic reaction can happen to anyone…at any time. Be alert… and be alive A message from the Camp Atterbury Directorate of Emergency Services – LTC Glen E. Potts, Director
