15 Histamine Reaction
16 Symptom Reactions Symptoms can range from mild to severe. Severe, lifethreatening reactions are called anaphylaxis % of people diagnosed with food allergies are judged to have a high risk of anaphylaxis.
17 Symptoms of Anaphylaxis Tingling sensation in the mouth Swelling of the tongue and throat Difficulty breathing Hives Vomiting Abdominal cramps Diarrhea Drop in blood pressure Loss of consciousness Death (in rare cases)
18 Common Food Allergies Peanuts Tree nuts Wheat Soy Milk Eggs Fish Shellfish
19 Food Allergy Statistics More than 12 million Americans have food allergies. That s one in 25, or 4 percent of the population. Approximately 2 million school-age children have food allergies in the U.S. The CDC reported an average of 317,000 food allergyrelated ambulatory care visits per year to emergency and outpatient departments and physicians offices for children under the age of 18.
20 Number of Children In Children, Males Predominate Median age at first episode: 5.8 years Number of Cases ( ) Cianferoni A, et al. Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol. 2004;92:
21 Food Allergy Increasing in the US Food allergy prevalence in children as high as 8.0% % had a history of severe reactions 30.4% had multiple food allergies Prevalence was highest for peanut followed by milk and shellfish 8 major foods are responsible for >90% of serious allergic reactions in the US (fish, shellfish, peanut, tree nuts, milk, egg, wheat, soy) 2 1. Gupta, et al. Pediatrics. 2011;128:e9-e Boyce JA, et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2010;126:S1-S58. 21
22 Patient Factors That Increase Risk of an Event or Potentiate Its Severity History of previous anaphylactic reaction Atopy Asthma Age Adolescents and young adults: risk-taking behaviors Elderly: comorbidities and medications Cardiovascular disease Medications (β-blockers, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, tricyclics, MAO inhibitors) Mast cell activating disorders ACE, angiotensin-converting enzyme; ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; MAO, monoamine oxidase. Simons FER, et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2010;125:S161-S
23 Food Allergy Statistics In two published studies addressing fatal food anaphylactic reactions, more than half (59%) of the individuals were age 19 or younger. In a study of 13 food allergy-induced anaphylactic reactions in school-age children, four of the six fatal reactions occurred in a school-type setting.
24 Why Should Head Start Be Prepared to Address Food Allergies? Schools and educational programs have a responsibility for the health and safety of children under their care. First food allergy reactions often occur in these settings. Fatalities can result from delaying administration of epinephrine and providing effective emergency care Food allergies could be a complicating factor when dealing with other conditions (i.e. asthma). Children with food allergies have unique social and emotional challenges. NSBA s School Health Programs (2010). Food Allergies and Schools: Keeping students safe and ready to learn.

28 What can you do? Lead your school s planning for managing food allergies Coordinate planning and implementation of your classroom s Food Allergy Management and Prevention Plan (FAMPP). Identify a team leader. 28
29 Food Allergy Management and Prevention Plan Priorities 1. Ensure the daily management of food allergies for individual children. 2. Prepare for food allergy emergencies. 3. Provide professional development on food allergies for staff members. 4. Educate all students and their family members about food allergies. 5. Create and maintain a healthy and safe educational environment. 29
30 What can you do? Support professional development on food allergies for school staff: Provide training for all HS staff. Ensure staff understands the HS legal responsibilities under federal law. Communicate policies and HS plan to all school staff, volunteers and families. 30
31 What can you do? Oversee the daily management of food allergies for students Ensure implementation of District food allergy policies, HS Food Allergy Management and Prevention Plan Student emergency care plans. 31
32 What can you do? Support practices that protect and promote the health of students with food allergies across the HS environment. Ensure that students with food allergies have an equal opportunity to participate in all HS activities and events. 32
33 What can you do? Prepare your school to be ready to respond to food allergy emergencies: Ensure that responding to food allergy emergencies is a part of your HS emergency plan. Set up an easy-to-use communication system for staff who may need to respond to food allergy reactions and emergencies. 33
34 What can you do? Communicate food allergy management and policies to parents and families. Ensure that staff who are trained and delegated to administer epinephrine autoinjectors can get to them quickly and easily. Plan and prepare for field trips. Practice responding to food allergy emergencies with emergency response drills. 34
35 Steps to Take Within 24 Hours of a Nonfatal Food Allergy Reaction Call parent or guardian to follow up on student condition. Review anaphylactic or allergic episode with parent or guardian and student. Discuss family role with parent or guardian to improve outcomes. Discuss school and home concerns to improve prevention, response and student outcomes. Ask parent or guardian to replace the epinephrine dose that was given, if needed. Ask parent or guardian to follow up with health care provider. Source: National Association of School Nurses,
