Emmy winner Julie Bowen and Mylan Specialty L.P are all set to make the issue of increasing cases of anaphylaxis among school going children a hot national issue. The campaign, Get Schooled in Anaphylaxis intends to spread extensive knowledge about the seriousness of analphylaxis among children and parents. Also, the program aims at empowering schools to successfully manage an allergy safe environment. Ignorance of the problems that allergic reactions can cause is a dangerous thing. Bowen publically shared she had no idea about her son being allergic to walnuts and bee stings until the young kid suffered from a very serious allergic reaction. Thankfully, the situation was controlled, courtesy timely medical care. Bowen further stressed the importance of awareness and preparedness to help parents and teachers take care of school going students.

School children spend half a year worth of time in school. This means that there are severaltouch points of acquiring allergies. The only way to address this problem is to improve the knowledge of the same among children. This will help them in taking precautions and preventive measures, detecting symptoms and providing medical aid to affected people. In this direction, the Get Schooled in Anaphylaxis ™ has opened an essay submission portal on www.Anaphylaxis101.com for students from across the country where they are being called upon to essay their suggestions on how their schools can be better prepared to prevent anaphylaxis and adequately provide care to students who unfortunately get affected. A panel of judges will pick the best fifteen entries, and they’ll stand to win a superb college scholarship of$2,000.
