Everyday Life
If you suffer from anaphylaxis, the most effective way to manage it is to be prepared and be aware. By setting yourself a few simple rules each day, carrying your Jext and recognising risks will become second nature, and part of your daily routine.
Follow our simple checklist to ensure your prepared:
Carrying your Jext
- Have your Jext available at all times and ensure they are in date.
- Register your Jext with the expiry alert service
- Carry your Lifeline card at all times so people can see how to administer Jext and who to contact in an emergency
Recognising risks
- Ask questions about ingredients before eating anything
- Don't take chances: if you can’t find out about ingredients, or check the label, don't eat it
- If you also have asthma, make sure this is well controlled. Ask your doctor or nurse for an asthma review
- If you have a venom allergy, do not wear perfume & bright clothing during venom season
Prepare and educate yourself
