Anyone can help!
(Real pen the last picture)
It is important for EVERYONE to know how to help ANYONE. Not everyone can give them selves their medicine under every circumstance. Be educated, help out.
In the last year, i have gotten about five new violent allergies from foods i used to be able to eat. Next time i eat a fruit, my throat could close. I may not be able to inject myself. My boyfriend and i played with my trainer pen for like 30 minutes. He knows how to inject it. I know how. This is important.
As someone with food allergies I feel like everyone should know this. Especially for those who are physically or mentally unable to stab themself with a needle for whatever reason (such as myself who has an extreme phobia of needles), others around them need to know how to administer one in case of an emergency.
Another tip! If their thigh isn’t exposed don’t panic! The needle will go through fabric as long as you don’t try to push through a seam. Seams are too thick for the needle!!!
I’m pinning this post
I need to stress that the reason you inject it to the side of the thigh is because there are major arteries there. If there is a seam in the way, move the FABRIC, not the needle. And you need to hold it down HARD.
YES, YES WE NEED THIS BECAUSE IM ALLERGIC TO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS INCLUDING THE FUCKING SUN ( IM NOT JOKING. ) AND IM ON MEDICATION, SO THIS IS A LIFE SAVER OK?
Reblogging so this reaches more people.
An easy way to remember is:
BLUE to the sky ORANGE to the thigh
