Female speaker: Anaphylaxis is a life threatening allergy. That's why we here at watchmoJo.com are going to learn how to administer an EpiPen. Can you tell me what an allergy is?
Chantal De Montigny: It's an immune response, the body is reacting to an element.
Female Speaker: So what is Anaphylaxis?
Chantal De Montigny: It's a big area allergic reaction. It's more dangerous, and it's faster also.
Female Speaker: How can you recognize if someone is having an Anaphylaxis attack?
Chantal De Montigny: There is many ways. Each people react differently. Some people can show some reaction on the skin. This is the most frequent symptom. Sometimes it can have difficulty in breath and other time the patient is collapsing. When you know that a person is at risk of Anaphylaxis, you have to react fast, and to inject with the EpiPen.
Female Speaker: How do you administer an EpiPen?
Chantal De Montigny: What you have to do first is take it like this and do remove here. The next step is to inject here on the leg at the middle, push, and now you have the injection beginning. You have to call 911 to be sure that someone is coming because after 15 minutes, perhaps the reaction will stop, but perhaps will continue.
Female Speaker: Thank you very much.
Chantal De Montigny: You're welcome.
