WELLalarm™ and Peanut Allergies
• Peanut Allergy is the most prevalent food allergy in the US, with 1.5 million Americans suffering from the disease. (American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology)
• Peanut Allergy is the most common cause of death due to foods. Reactions can be life threatening with just a little exposure to the allergen. (Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America)
• Peanut allergy is common among children and is likely to persist throughout life. (Mayo Clinic)
If you or your child suffers from a peanut allergy, you have no time to waste in an emergency. An allergic response to peanuts usually occurs within minutes after exposure. Symptoms range from hives to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening reaction that can constrict the airways and block breathing.
Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency that requires treatment with an epinephrine injector such as EpiPen and a trip to the emergency room. After consuming peanuts, the individual will experience constriction of airways, rapid pulse, a severe drop in blood pressure and dizziness. (Mayo Clinic)
Immediate medical attention is necessary and that any delays in administering epinephrine could be fatal. WELLalarm™ allows you to take smart precautions to ensure you can receive treatment in the event of an allergic reaction.
WELLcharms™ are smart jewelry that you can wear to identify your peanut allergy in case you stop breathing or go into Anaphylactic shock. Our Peanut Allergy Alert Necklace and Peanut Allergy Alert Bracelet have a peanut-shaped charm that is an
immediately identifiable symbol of your allergy.
WELLcharms™ are different than traditional medical alert jewelry because they are linked to the patent-pending emergency service, WELLalarm™. WELLalarm™ provides bystanders and first responders with easy, 24/7 access to your medical information in an emergency by phone, voice, text or web. You can also enable those attached to your WELLalarm™ account to be automatically notified by phone or text message in an emergency.
With our Peanut Allergy Alert jewelry, you can be WELL—with style!
