💬 “Is this anxiety or an allergic reaction?” It’s a question many in the food allergy community face – and it’s okay to feel that way!

Anxiety is common after living through or fearing anaphylaxis, whether for yourself or for a loved one. But it can also interfere with how we respond in an emergency. Licensed clinical counselor Tamara Hubbard, MA, LCPC, (@FACounselor ) shares 3 ways anxiety can delay treatment and how to overcome it:

1️⃣ Fear of using epinephrine
2️⃣ Doubting symptoms
3️⃣ Panic interfering with communication

💡 The key: Practice. Prepare. And trust your action plan.
You’ve got this. Epi First, Epi Fast. 💪

It’s not surprising that many search social media for health information, even though it can lead to unreliable information.

But what IS surprising is that 43% of #foodallergy #parents don’t discuss the info they find online with their allergist.
