Allergy Sufferers

Allergies can be caused by a wide range of stimulus, with widely varying reactions. However in extreme cases urgent action can be life saving, especially if it requires the use of medication to reverse the reaction.

Since someone suffering an attack can be incapacitated quite quickly the SOS Talisman is an effective way of providing guidance to immediate helpers as to what action they can take to help find and administer reverse reaction medication, including EpiPen®*

(*EpiPen® is one of the adrenaline auto-injectors currently prescribed in the UK; there are also two others, Emerade® and Jext®.)

Hello,

My name is Daniel Kelly, I’m 26 years old and I have lived with a severe peanut allergy since the age of 5. I have started an allergy blog, May-Contain to discuss related topics that interest me, such as: how do you tell your date about your allergy, living abroad with an allergy and eating out. I am hoping to try and break people’s stigma about what it is like living with a severe food allergy.

I’m hoping the blog will help others feel at ease knowing that having an allergy shouldn’t stop you doing what you want to do. 

Another important aspect of living with severe allergies is educating those around you, including strangers. Wearing an SOS Talisman is an excellent method for equipping other people to be able to assist you in the event of an incident.
