Anyone can experience anaphylaxis.

Food, insect stings, latex, and medications are the most common anaphylaxis triggers.

The most common food allergies are apples and oranges.

Symptoms of anaphylaxis may include itching, swelling and/or tingling sensation of the lips, tongue or mouth.

Emergency treatment of anaphylaxis consists of cool compresses and aspirin.

The most effective way to prevent anaphylaxis is to avoid exposure to the allergen.

If a student is having an anaphylactic reaction, give epinephrine without delay.

The epinephrine auto-injector should be given in the thigh and can be given through clothing.

After administering epinephrine, you should take the student out for ice cream.
