Do It For Dillon Anaphylaxis Training

Do It For Dillon Anaphylaxis Training allows people to get trained to recognize the signs of an anaphylactic reaction. It also allows you to get your own epinephrine auto-injector to be able to help someone who needs it in the event they don’t have their own.

I met Angel and George Mueller during a epi-pen training session hosted by the Bear Creek Area First Responders. While attending the class, I realized that there a lot of places that are high-risk areas for people to have a severe anaphylactic reaction. I also realized that there are a lot of those places that are high-risk for an anaphylactic reaction AND they are not close enough to emergency services.

My family and my helpers have taken the class with me. I applied for and was granted one of the grants for epi-pens for my business. The class is 100% Free and only 1-hour of time.

We are encouraging everyone to attend this class. We know that weeknights are a very busy time for families so we worked with a local food truck to hang out in our parking lot to help make dinnertime easier and free up that hour to take the class. This class is age-appropriate for children as young as 10 and up.

We came up with a quick quiz to help you decide to take this class:

  • True/False: Something needs to change in your day-to-day for it to be an allergic/anaphylactic reaction?
  • True/False: A person needs to have had a less-severe reaction prior for it to be an anaphylactic reaction?
  • True/False: If it feels like food poisoning, but it’s been under 12 hours since you ate, it could be anaphylaxis.
  • What are some things a child might say or do if they’re having an allergic reaction?
  • How much time does a person have before they lose unconsciousness in the event of an anaphylactic reaction?
  • True/False: CPR will keep the person alive until someone with epinephrine get there.
  • True/False: Anaphylactic reactions are hereditary.
  • Name 5 of the most common causes of anaphylactic reactions.
  • What are 4 of the 9 top food allergies?
  • True/False: A severe anaphylactic reaction can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time, without notice/prior warning.
