A 27-year-old woman developed a life-threatening reaction after taking Ibuprofen, a common pain killer.
What started as flu-like symptoms quickly progressed into widespread blistering and skin detachment.
Doctors diagnosed Toxic epidermal necrolysis, a condition where the immune system attacks the skin, causing it to peel away - similar to severe burns.
This exposes the body to infections, fluid loss, and organ complications.
She was placed in a medically induced coma and treated in intensive care.
Despite losing about 95% of her skin, she survived.
Doctors put her in a medically induced coma and treated her in intensive care; she pulled through despite the high mortality rate of this condition. It's a powerful reminder that even common painkillers can trigger life-threatening reactions in rare cases."

📢 O veste importantă pentru părinții copiilor cu risc de anafilaxie

FDA a aprobat actualizarea informațiilor pentru neffy 1 mg, sprayul nazal cu adrenalină, iar schimbarea este una foarte relevantă pentru multe familii: vârsta nu mai este un criteriu de utilizare.

👉 𝐂𝐞 𝐢̂𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐧𝐚̆ 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭?
• 𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐲 𝟏 𝐦𝐠 poate fi utilizat la copiii care au 𝐜𝐞𝐥 𝐩𝐮𝐭̦𝐢𝐧 𝟏𝟓 𝐤𝐠 𝐬̦𝐢 𝐬𝐮𝐛 𝟑𝟎 𝐤𝐠
• pentru această doză, 𝐧𝐮 𝐦𝐚𝐢 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐳𝐚̆ 𝐯𝐚̂𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚
• copiii și adulții care au 𝟑𝟎 𝐤𝐠 𝐬𝐚𝐮 𝐦𝐚𝐢 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭 folosesc doza de 𝟐 𝐦𝐠

💛 Pentru multe familii, aceasta nu este doar o schimbare de prospect. Este o veste care poate aduce mai multă claritate într-un moment în care totul se întâmplă repede și cu multă teamă. În anafilaxie, fiecare minut contează, iar orice lucru care face tratamentul mai ușor de înțeles și de administrat poate conta enorm.

🌡️ 𝐀𝐮 𝐟𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐬̦𝐢 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭̦𝐢𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐚̆𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬̦𝐢 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚̆
• dacă dispozitivul a fost 𝐢̂𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐭̦𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥, el 𝐩𝐨𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐢 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐮𝐩𝐚̆ 𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐳𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭̦𝐚̆
• sunt permise și 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐢 𝐥𝐚 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢 𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐝𝐞 𝐩𝐚̂𝐧𝐚̆ 𝐥𝐚 𝐚𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯 𝟓𝟎°𝐂
• este recomandat să fie purtat 𝐢̂𝐧 𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐣𝐮𝐥 𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 sau într-o 𝐡𝐮𝐬𝐚̆ 𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐚̆

Aceste detalii pot părea mici, dar pentru părinți sunt foarte practice. În viața reală, dispozitivul este purtat în geantă, în rucsac, pe drum, în vacanță, la grădiniță sau la școală. Faptul că eticheta este acum mai clară și mai flexibilă în privința temperaturii poate oferi mai multă siguranță în utilizarea de zi cu zi.

🚨 𝐌𝐞𝐬𝐚𝐣𝐮𝐥 𝐜𝐞𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐢 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐫𝐚̆𝐦𝐚̂𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚:
• anafilaxia este o urgență medicală
• adrenalina trebuie administrată prompt, conform recomandării medicului
• fiecare familie ar trebui să știe clar:
→ ce dispozitiv are
→ pentru ce greutate este potrivit
→ cm se administrează corect
→ unde este păstrat, ca să poată fi găsit imediat la nevoie

🤍 Mai multă claritate înseamnă, uneori, și mai mult curaj. Iar pentru părinții care trăiesc cu teama unei reacții severe, asta contează enorm.

Back in July 2025, we shared the news that EURneffy® had been approved in the UK and we promised to keep you updated. Today, we’re pleased to let you know that EURneffy® has arrived in the UK. It’s available on private prescription, and NHS access is expected to follow as it’s introduced across allergy services.

For families living with severe food allergies, this is welcome news. EURneffy® is a needle-free nasal spray, making it a good addition or alternative for people with food allergies, giving families extra peace of mind.

How does it work?
💜 Neffy is suitable for anyone weighing 30kg and above.
💜 You should always carry two, because a second dose might be needed in some anaphylaxis emergencies.
💜 Small, easy to carry around, long shelf life (up to 30 months), and not affected by extreme temperatures.

What the experts say...
💜 Early data suggests EURneffy® works well for most people at risk of anaphylaxis. The British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology (BSACI) have said it may help reduce hesitation to carry or use adrenaline.
💜 According to BSACI, EURneffy® isn’t suitable for everyone, if you’ve ever needed more than one dose of adrenaline, or had severe anaphylaxis with low blood pressure, you should still carry your adrenaline auto-injector pen (AAI).
💜 Your GP or allergy specialist can help decide if EURneffy® is an option for you or your child. Always ask your medical professional for advice.

Your next steps...
💜 Speak to your GP or allergy doctor to see if EURneffy® is right for you and remember to always follow your Allergy Action Plan and call emergency services immediately after using adrenaline, whether EURneffy® or an AAI like Epipen or Jext.

At The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, we’re really pleased about this new treatment option for people at risk of anaphylaxis. Every step forward helps children, adults, and families living with severe food allergies feel a little safer and more confident.

💜 We are heartbroken to share the passing of 24-year-old Harry James Kitto, who tragically lost his life after a severe allergic reaction while travelling with his girlfriend Naomi in South America.

Harry’s family have described him as being kind, adventurous, funny, and full of life. His family and friends now face a devastating loss.

His allergic reaction occurred in Buenos Aires, after eating a churros dessert he had been assured did not contain peanut, to which he had a known allergy. Harry and Naomi were due to return home just a few days later.

This terrible news has been reported in the press after a Go Fund Me page was created in Harry’s memory. We at Natasha's Foundation continue to support the family as they take the time and space to grieve privately.

Our love, sympathy, and thoughts are with Harry’s family and friends at this painful time.

Together, we must keep working towards a future where no life is lost to food allergies, in Harry’s name, in Natasha’s name, and in memory of every person lost to food-induced anaphylaxis.

In Rome, five people have gone on trial for manslaughter following the tragic death of a 14-year-old British girl who suffered an anaphylactic reaction after eating a dessert containing undisclosed traces of peanuts.

The teenager, who had a known peanut allergy, became seriously unwell within minutes of leaving a restaurant in Rome last October. By the time her family returned to their accommodation, she was struggling to breathe. Paramedics rushed her to Hospital, but she was pronounced dead on arrival.

Following an investigation, Italian prosecutors charged the deli owners, the director of the importing firm and two other company representatives. The baklava dessert the family ate was found to contain peanuts, but the packaging did not declare this.

Although Turkish suppliers are not legally required to list allergens, Italian law states that companies must verify all points of the supply chain to identify potential contamination. Prosecutors allege these checks did not happen.

The teenager’s family say she was always extremely careful about her food allergy, double-checking food labels and making sure restaurant staff were always informed.

This devastating case is yet another reminder that clear allergen labelling and strong supply chain accountability save lives. Every country, every company, every supplier must take responsibility, because food allergy safety is non-negotiable.

No family should ever have to experience such a preventable and avoidable loss.
