The Bag that will save my son's life

Emergency bag with instructions and medications

There is only one thing I always need to make sure to bring along with us, no matter how short the journey. Thats our emergency bag!




Have your child’s doctor complete a Food Allergy Action Plan (FAAP), providing clear instructions on how to treat an allergic reaction, and distribute copies to school officials. A blank FAAP is available for download.


Teach all those who care for your child not to hesitate to use an epinephrine auto-injector, such as EpiPen®. Studies show that the sooner epinephrine is administered during an anaphylactic reaction, the better the outcome will be. EpiPen® trainers, auto-injector devices that do not have a needle or medication in them, are available through FAAN to help you and others practice using an epinephrine auto-injector.
