What is Anaphylaxis?

Every day, Australians in schools, workplaces, and public settings are exposed to potential allergens, such as food, insect bites, medication, or environmental factors.

For those at risk of anaphylactic reaction, even a tiny exposure to an allergen can trigger a full-body reaction in minutes.

Anaphylaxis occurs when the immune system goes into overdrive in response to a harmless substance it wrongly sees as dangerous.

This overreaction causes the release of chemicals that can lead to:
💉 Severe swelling (especially of the airways)
💉 Rapid drop in blood pressure
💉 Constriction of the chest and lungs
💉 Circulatory collapse

It’s not just uncomfortable, it’s fatal without fast treatment. What makes it more dangerous is that reactions often begin without warning and can worsen in seconds.

Common Triggers Include:
🥜 Peanuts
🌰 Tree nuts
🦀 Shellfish
🥛 Milk
🥚 Eggs
🐝 Bee or wasp stings
💊 Penicillin or other medications
🧤 Latex
🏃🏼‍♀️ Exercise combined with allergen exposure

Key symptoms:
👉🏼 Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat
👉🏼 Tightness in the chest, wheezing, or trouble breathing
👉🏼 Pale or bluish skin, especially around the lips
👉🏼 Hives, rash, or widespread skin redness
👉🏼 Vomiting, stomach cramps, or diarrhoea
👉🏼 Dizziness, fainting, or sudden collapse

These can appear alone or in combination, and may look similar to asthma, anxiety, or a panic attack. But if someone has a known allergy and shows any of these signs, assume anaphylaxis.

FIRST AID FOR DEHYDRATION 🥵

What is dehydration?

Dehydration is when the body loses fluids and electrolytes faster than they can be replaced. Left untreated, dehydration can become a serious medical emergency and is potentially life threatening in some cases.

Dehydration can be caused by a range of things, such as sweating excessively while doing physical activity or being exposed to the sun for a long time. Vomiting, diarrhoea and sweating during a fever can lead to dehydration.

Dehydration Symptoms:

The symptoms of mild to moderate dehydration can include:

🔥Headache
🔥Dry mouth and dry eyes
🔥Extreme thirst
🔥Dark urine (urine test strips can be used to test for dehydration)
🔥Muscle cramps
🔥Low blood pressure
🔥Increased heart rate or heart palpitations
🔥Sunken eyes and pale skin (in young children)

The signs of moderate to severe dehydration can include:

🔥Fainting and fatigue
🔥Confusion
🔥Fever and chills
🔥Unconsciousness

First aid for dehydration:

1. Sit the patient down in a cool area, out of direct sunlight. Reassure them with a calm and steady voice.

2. Restore lost fluids by giving the patient cool water to drink. If available, use a electrolyte solution to restore the patient's electrolytes as well as increasing their fluids.

In severe cases, patient may need an intravenous drip. IV rehydration should be administered by a trained healthcare worker.

3. Lower the patient's body temperature by using cold packs on the groin, armpits and neck. Remove any tight clothing.

4. Gently massage or stretch any heat cramps or sore muscles.

5. Monitor the patient's vitals. If symptoms don't improve, seek medical advice. If the patient loses consciousness, call 000. Give CPR if necessary
