CA has just passed a law that other states should have on their books. That is, schools must now stock epinephrine pens for students and staff who suffer a life-threatening allergy, such as the common ones to peanuts and bees. Every second counts when the potentially deadly allergy symptoms appear. 911 is great, but an ambulance takes time to arrive. People who know they have these allergies should carry epinephrine, but what if they forget or lose it on the playground or haven’t replaced outdated medication? Accidents happen. Schools should be prepared for all emergencies, including this one.
If your state doesn’t have this law, you can get the ball rolling by promoting one. For help (and to see if your state does have this regulation or is considering it), go to http://cqrcengage.com/aafa/epinephrine.
