OCA Health Care Committee Coffee Chat – Skip the Benadryl: Mastering Anaphylaxis Prevention and Response in Camp Settings (OCA Members Only)

*OCA Members Only*

Did you know that more than 3 million Canadians, including 600,000 children, are impacted by food allergies? In Ontario alone, over 850,000 individuals – including 200,000 children – live with food allergies. Managing these allergies and being prepared to treat anaphylaxis, a severe and life-threatening allergic reaction, is crucial in camp settings.

Join the Ontario Camps Association and Food Allergy Canada for an essential webinar on Tuesday, January 14, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. via Zoom, featuring Dr. Moshe Ben-Shosan, a global authority on food allergy and anaphylaxis. Dr. Ben-Shosan will provide insights into:

• What anaphylaxis is and how to recognize its signs and symptoms.
• The importance of prompt emergency management using epinephrine.
• Why Benadryl is no longer recommended and the repercussions of its use in anaphylaxis management.

Don’t miss this vital opportunity to enhance your camp’s readiness and ensure the safety of all campers.

Stay tuned for a pre-webinar survey to gather your input and tailor the discussion to your needs!
