Jerome Bettis and The Severe Allergy and Anaphylaxis Playbook

I had the honor of interviewing NFL football legend Jerome "The Bus" Bettis about severe allergies and anaphylaxis!  He has teamed up with the makers of the Auvi-Q to bring us "The Severe Allergy & Anaphylaxis Playbook".

It's an excellent guide that covers not only food allergies, but bee sting, insect, latex and other allergies which can cause anaphylaxis.  I am really impressed with this guide!  Check out these sections:

• Jerome’s Top 5 Plays
• Food Allergy Plays
• Bee & Wasp Allergy Plays
• Latex Allergy Plays
• Exercise-Induced
• Allergy Plays Medication Allergy Plays
• Plays for the House
• Plays for School
• Plays for Travel

I think this is the kind of booklet that should be handed to patients by their doctors once they receive a diagnosis!  Plus, if they prescribe them an Auvi-Q, they won't have to worry about showing their patients how to use their epinphrine autoinjector, since the device speaks for itself. ;)

Given the rise of adult onset anaphylactic allergies, I think pretty much everyone should read this information and beware of the various causes of anaphylaxis and their possible symptoms.

I commend Jerome Bettis for using his celebrity status and visibility to promote this life-saving device and for bringing awareness to this ever-growing epidemic of anaphylactic allergies.

Below is the interview segment in which I was able to participate.  He's such a great advocate!
