Know the signs, take action: EAACI Anaphylaxis Awareness Day, 21 November<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

ATHENS, Greece, Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) is proud to announce the inaugural\u00a0World Anaphylaxis Awareness Day<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a021 November 2024<\/strong>. This landmark initiative, held on the opening day of\u00a0FAAM-EUROBAT 2024<\/strong>\u00a0in Athens, Greece, seeks to raise awareness and promote essential steps in preventing and managing anaphylaxis, a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction.<\/p>\n

Anaphylaxis affects approximately 1-2% of the global population, with incidents on the rise worldwide. This severe allergic reaction demands immediate medical intervention and often stems from exposure to common allergens, including specific foods, insect stings, medications, or latex. Despite the risks, awareness of anaphylaxis symptoms, causes, and emergency responses remains low.\u00a0World Anaphylaxis Awareness Day<\/strong>\u00a0addresses these knowledge gaps and fosters a global understanding of this critical health issue.<\/p>\n

EAACI invites medical professionals, allergy societies, and stakeholders worldwide to participate and amplify the message within their communities.<\/p>\n

In conjunction with this day, EAACI will also release\u00a0\u201cA Practical Guide for Patients,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0a comprehensive resource developed to support patients and caregivers in understanding, managing, and preventing anaphylactic reactions. This guide offers practical insights on identifying triggers, using adrenaline auto-injectors correctly, and creating personalised action plans to manage risk in everyday life.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to launch World Anaphylaxis Awareness Day as part of FAAM-EUROBAT 2024,\u201d said Dr Maria Torres, EAACI President. \u201cWith this initiative, we hope to empower individuals, families, and healthcare providers with the knowledge and tools to prevent and respond to anaphylaxis.
