Anaphylaxis
is a potentially fatal condition. Causes range from bee
stings to drugs, foods, and other causative factors, in which a
foreign protein or allergy entering the body causes life
threatening respiratory and cardiovascular symptoms which may
likely result in death if immediate action is not taken by
administration of an EpiPen injection.
- If your child has a known allergy to bee stings, a drug, food
or other causative agent, please notify your school nurse and
complete the "Seaman
USD #345 Allergies and Anaphylaxis Information for Parent
Request" form and send to the school.
- If EpiPen is prescribed by your child's healthcare provider to
have at school, it should be accompanied with specific orders and
completion of the "Emergency Action Plan for
Allergies with Potential for Anaphylaxis" form.
- If your child's allergy is from food or food product, please
review "Seaman
Health Services Food Service Information for Students with Dietary
Needs, Food Allergies or Interlorance to Foods" document and
request a "Food Service Substitution" form from your school nurse
or food service staff to ensure your child's nutritional needs are
being met.
