I’ve had 3 anaphylactic shocks, 2 of which I’ve ended up in hospital. First time, I had no Epipen but was given adrenaline & rushed into hospital, 2nd time I used my 2 pens but still needed to be taken to hospital. 3rd time wasn’t as severe. Problem is although I’ve been tested for several allergens, I still don’t know what has caused such severe reactions. Thank goodness for EpiPens, and it’s great that people with no allergies, want to know how to use them
An anaphylactic shock can result in death so any possible pain caused by using an Epipen, is certainly nothing to be considered. I had a huge bruise on my leg caused by the pressure used jabbing my leg with the pen (through my denim jeans).
I have a similar story, I want to be tested for Alpha Gal syndrome. I think this is what my issue is because, like you all my allergy test are negative.
My amazing friend is severely allergic to peanuts and this is very informative in case something goes wrong and needs someone else to inject. Love you Sav
I just discovered aI now have an allergy to shellfish, and the VA gave me the epipens, but no info on its usage. Thank you for the brief, to the point explanation!
You’re so responsible! I’m deathly allergic to milk and several other foods and you wouldn’t believe the amount of people that say “oh you’re lactose intolerant” when I tell them I’m allergic. Like no I don’t get gassy my throat will blister and close Sir 🙄
Yeah my cousin is allergic to all of those as well as a few sorts of meats and I’m really worried about people that are allergic to things since I’m not
@@lowkeydrxppi6637 Yet your still using "Ur", also how could you make fun of him for wanting his girlfriend to be safe? It's just like your saying you wouldn't help you're girlfriend "If you have one".
Did you do the allergic test to know the pollen allergy? Because I can't stand cherry blossom tree but there are some tree that they said could triggered allergy, not triggering me
My son and I are both allergic to wasps and he is also allergic to bees. He's allergic to eucalyptus and I'm allergic to the pollen of wild mustard flowers. We moved away from an area with a lot of eucalyptus only to end up in an area with wild mustard and farm chemicals which we discovered he's allergic to. I guess you can't just move away from your allergies because there will always be another one.
Although I wish this woman was in better spirits, in order for her communication to be more engaging, I appreciate this short and sweet lesson. Thanks!
I only ever had one friend who carried an epi pen, we were kids and she had fish and nut allergies. But I realized that I never learned how to use one. I feel like this is something everyone should know in case someone around them is unable to stick themselves with one
My little sister had an allergic reaction from eating a pineapple yesterday which is strange since she never had an reaction with it before. So now im just here to know how to use an epipen in case it happens to her again and we are not at home.
"You may feel some pressure from the auto-injector. This is expected because... The injector is under pressure." - Really??? Thanks for that thorough explanation :)
I was stung by a bee & broke out in hives and welts everywhere. I didn’t know how allergic I was. The epi pen was a miracle cure for me in the hospital! Thank goodness for it! Cleared most of my skin in 20 minutes 🙌
Thank you! I’ve got a friend coming over in a few days with some nut allergies so I wanted to make sure I knew how to administer an EpiPen just in case.
Mine didn't come with a trainer I had to order one online, even tho it was free, it is still difficult because we do not know what caused the reaction and im unconfident in my ability to be able to administer it to myself, as it was a very quick onset and very severe
Originally I have epipen because of wasp allergy, recently my tongue is swelling getting worse each episode. I’m assuming some food allergies, sigh getting an appointment to see an Allergist is crazy my appointment is in June!
I finally was prescribed one as my allergies have become really bad as an adult, of course when I got it no one showed or explained to me how to use it.
ok, niece, it will be helpfull at elast to have a descriptive text...what is used for ? what tipe of alergies if this is the case...or if and how we are suppose to help others... Thanks.
If the neck area, specifically near the jugular. Can I stab my buddy there? In theory it should still work and should be a hero, right? Going for style points here
Man I am sad that I've just now begun to be allergic to eggs. I used to eat them a lot. These days I've been getting dizzy after eating them, so I'm considering getting an epi-pen just in case it gets worse -_-
If you live near Canada you can sometimes be able to purchase medications there and you also may be able to get the generic epinephrine injector for a lot cheaper.
@@_mason_3962 thank you... unfortunately im not in canada, more on, im in the Philippines... but i do have a cousin who has allergies who just migrated to canada, thank you very much
That is not right. It says on the box and on the Epi pen that you are supposed to hold the pen in place for 10 seconds. If you are going to make a training video, you need to make sure that the information is correct.
I am here because my colleague at the hospital just ate peanuts and she is allergic. We are both nurses and the only ones present here now at night, but I have not used one before. I am looking here and taking precautions in case she will need an injection😅
I am watching this because there was a story about a mad lad kid who was allergic nuts He wanted to taste a reeses cup so he got out his EpiPen and the ate the reeses cup Injected it and told the teacher that he needed to go to the hospital. Yes this is a real story.
Me watching this because my best friend is stupid and will more than likely eat something she's allergic to and now I'm going to have to save her life.
I'm just learning this
Just
In
Case
yea I'm scared one day I'll discover that I'm allergic to something and conveniently have an epipen but not know where to stab myself
Yeah
Me too
Same
Same
I feel like at least 50% of us are here because we want to be educated not because we have allergies
My mom does badly and I need to know how to use it or she can die
im watching this becuase im having a bad allergic reaction now and forgot how to use mine
I just here cause I’m picking up my first epi pen
My girlfriend has allergies and I want to make sure I can help her if I need to
always thought you have to do at top of leg so good thing i checked :)
I've been carrying an epipen for like 15 years without even knowing how to use it...thanks
How dumb can u seriously be
@@priasharma6617 Oh, I can be very dumb. But at least I'm self aware and try my best to fix it lol
@@blooop9693 SAVAGE!!! that shut HIM up! 🤭🤭
Woah, who gave you the epipen without giving you instructions first-
15 years????? You're lucky you never had any severe allergic reaction.

Does is hurt when the needle injects?

Pls keep a notebook and try to list off things that you did or interacted with to narrow it down!
In nursing school we learned: "orange to your thigh, blue to the sky. Thumb on top, boy, you're gonna cry."
Lol, nice one.
😩 thanks for the last part. Now I can’t wait.
No! Thumb not on top. Just hold the barrel! Red to the thigh, blue to the sky.
@@kennethm.380 that’s exactly what it implied. “Thumb on top, boy, you’re gonna cry” meaning DON’T put your thumb on top because it’s gonna hurt.
I needed to know this because my best friend is badly allergic to peanuts, THANK YOU!
My mom is the same as your best friend
My amazing friend is severely allergic to peanuts and this is very informative in case something goes wrong and needs someone else to inject.

@@nani0logy by injecting epipens?
My sister has an epipen, and I wanted to learn in case of an emergency. Thanks (:
Why am I watching this I don't have allergies
just in case XD
My brother's life was saved by a teacher that thankfully knew how to use one of these.
@@Dog-po1yx that's lucky
You can develope an allergy or discover an undiagnosed allergy.
Same.
wow school couldn't spend 2-3 minutes explaining this pathetic....
no because y=mx+b is more important obviously
Why would the teach this when X + 283849402√+X33 is more important
ashley no, learning the area under a curve is more important
Chaotic brain dead Rat really? i thought finding the probability of me giving a *f u c k* was more important?

Thanks for making this video! My baby brother is allergic to milk and eggs, so I want to be prepared in case he has a reaction.
Nice one Abby! 👍🏽
@@nadanalia3000 Thanks! You're not going to believe this, but I actually saved his life with it *literally the day after I learned how to use it.*

I am 6 years old and I’ve had 5 anaphylactic reactions. Thank God for my Epipen!
Don't need one but I know friends who would need this so I want to make sure I know how to help my friends for when they can't themselves
To all the people in the comment section: it was recently changed from 10 to 3 seconds
Was it? I'm just curious, I just got mine so I'm trying to figure it out and it says ten
trying to learn because I'm allergic to bee and wasp stings
I'm also allergic to pollen so, yea, springs not a very happy time for me
Did you do the allergic test to know the pollen allergy? Because I can't stand cherry blossom tree but there are some tree that they said could triggered allergy, not triggering me

I was in the middle of a reaction this was very helpful 💚
just 3?? wasn't it 10 seconds?
It might variate
The fda recently changed it
My doctor told me 10 seconds 🤷♀️
Sofia Perez the FDA CHANGED IT FOR 3 SECONDS
Sofia Perez Ye, change it to 3
Although I wish this woman was in better spirits, in order for her communication to be more engaging, I appreciate this short and sweet lesson. Thanks!
Good thing I’m not allergic to peanuts I have to stab that thing on my hand
You don't use it on your hand..........
you don’t use it on your hand lmao
I still wouldn’t want to stab myself with that thing. 😂
@@helenasoup1338 it's not that bad actually
Oops yourself is one word 😬
Worth noting that other videos recommend holding the pen there for ten seconds, so make sure you read the instructions
the previous epipen was meant to be held in for 10 seconds but the new epipens are all three second holds now. - Current PharmD
@@keatokeato10 thank you :)

Her voice is so calm and nice
the previous video said 10 seconds, you say three seconds. I'll just hold it for 27 seconds LOL.
Is it ok to hold the epipen to the skin for more than the 3 seconds just to make sure? I probably won't need to do this but I like to know how.
I saw other video that says 10 seconds and you should count out loud to make sure you're not counting too fast
"You may feel some pressure from the auto-injector. This is expected because... The injector is under pressure." - Really??? Thanks for that thorough explanation :)
notorious neil hahahahaha i was looking for this comment
You are making fun of people
I had a spider bite when I was little and I got a epipen. That was the loudest cry I ever did

with or without the jeans?

Question, she did it with her pants on. Is that how the epipen works as well?
Does this hurt? Cuz i dont have an allergy
Originally I have epipen because of wasp allergy, recently my tongue is swelling getting worse each episode. I’m assuming some food allergies, sigh getting an appointment to see an Allergist is crazy my appointment is in June!
Get to EMERGENCY ROOM LIKE YESTERDAY!!
so it doesnt need to go directly into vein?
Is it avalailable in Philippines?
I finally was prescribed one as my allergies have become really bad as an adult, of course when I got it no one showed or explained to me how to use it.
Thank you for this, just developed bee sting allergy.
did she use it
Baby step bro got them allergic death genes. Must stay prepared always to protect and defend the fam. Preciate the knowledge doc
My epipen set off two did not come with a trainer. It wasn’t made by Mylan
ok, niece, it will be helpfull at elast to have a descriptive text...what is used for ? what tipe of alergies if this is the case...or if and how we are suppose to help others... Thanks.
it gives you time to go to a hospital
Does it work through clothing?
yes
What happens if you use a epipen on your thumb by accident
Worst case is complete tissue constriction and necrosis. Usually just swelling and numbness tho
Thank god there wasn’t ads
Does the needle go through fabric?
yes
My doctor literally prescribed these to me without showing me how to use it 🤪
All aboard the octrain!
Would it hurt
not rlly when you get the adrenalin rush, that was for me anyways
My daughter has to have a EpiPen and oxygen with medication ,she stops breathing,God bless you where ever you are
Anyone know why these are so expensive?
i’m not allergic to bees, or peanuts or anything deadly but i’m learning this just so if anything happens i can help someone !!

My best friend just got one so I came here immediately to get educated
1:07
You just remove with thumb where you currently hold the pen
I used that way to rescue my teammate
That risks bending the safety cap and prematurely firing the pen, unfortunately. Just take the top off in a straight motion with your other hand.
@@thevideoistheking8834 it’s the faster way to deploy the stim
Why do I see some places that say 3 seconds and some say 10 seconds thats a big difference
Thank you this was really helpful for me
My boyfriend just told me I need to know how to use one. I do know I just want to double check 😂
what if u use it on a different part of your bodh? will it still work the same
Nah always in the meaty part of the thigh
idk what a thigh is nor how it looks
@@flowersparkly4319 where the woman injected it, that's the thigh

If you don’t remove blue cap auto injector won’t work. Click means injection has started. Hold tightly for three seconds after click

Cheers for this
great vid, very helpful, thank you
just watched someone in the comment sections say it was 10 seconds. they said they’re an EMT💀👎🏾
10 or 3, doesn't matter. 😂👎
Well demonstrated
I wanna carry one or a maybe even a few around with me even though I don’t have allergies, just in case someone around me does and needs one
