Anyone can help!

(Real pen the last picture)

It is important for EVERYONE to know how to help ANYONE. Not everyone can give them selves their medicine under every circumstance. Be educated, help out.

In the last year, i have gotten about five new violent allergies from foods i used to be able to eat. Next time i eat a fruit, my throat could close. I may not be able to inject myself. My boyfriend and i played with my trainer pen for like 30 minutes. He knows how to inject it. I know how. This is important.

As someone with food allergies I feel like everyone should know this. Especially for those who are physically or mentally unable to stab themself with a needle for whatever reason (such as myself who has an extreme phobia of needles), others around them need to know how to administer one in case of an emergency.

Another tip! If their thigh isn’t exposed don’t panic! The needle will go through fabric as long as you don’t try to push through a seam. Seams are too thick for the needle!!!

i do not require one of these but i have a friend who does and something he told me about this:

- the needle is never exposed to your sight! if you have a fear of needles and seeing the needle will freak you out, dont panic it stays in the orange part where you cant see it!

- older epi pens require you to hold it for 10 seconds rather than 3. as a general rule of thumb holding it for 10 rather than 3 will make sure the person gets all the medication they need without needing to worry about how old it is!
