Allergy Awareness – A Few Minutes Could Save a Life! ❤️
250+ views
Did you know that some children in our club have severe allergies that can cause a life-threatening reaction known as anaphylaxis? Some of these children carry EpiPens, which can be used in an emergency to treat a severe allergic reaction.
At Kilkenny Stars, the safety and wellbeing of all our young players is incredibly important to us.
🥜 A Reminder About Snacks
We kindly ask all parents not to send children to training or matches with snacks containing nuts. Even small amounts can cause a serious reaction in someone with a severe allergy. Please also remind children not to share food with others and why.
🎥 Please take a few minutes to watch this short vidoeo and help us keep our club community safe. 🏀❤️
We're asking all coaches, parents, volunteers and club members to take just 4 minutes to watch the video below from Chidren's Health Ireland, which explains how to recognise the signs of anaphylaxis and how to administer an EpiPen in an emergency. In an emergency, every second counts. Knowing what to do could save a life.
