FAACT’s FIST to THIGH “SIGN”

What would you do if you needed
#epinephrine ...but you couldn’t be heard?

Do you have a “SIGN”?

There might be a time when you are too far away for someone to hear you clearly or #anaphylaxis is making it difficult to speak.
Here is a “SIGN” you can use...

 - Move in motion
 - FIST to THIGH
 - Wait a second
 - Repeat again
 - FIST to THIGH
Share this “SIGN” with others so they can quickly respond in an emergency.

And, please share this video to help #FAACT spread the word about this potentially life-saving “SIGN”!

After epinephrine has been administered, have the person lay down with his or her legs raised, if possible, to help restore blood flow to vital organs (heart, lungs, brain).

Register for #FAACT ’s #Teen Retreat - #EarlyBird Discount Ends July 31!

FAACT’s Teen Retreat will be held Friday, September 15, through Sunday, September 17, 2023, at The Hyatt Lodge & Conference Center in Oak Brook, Illinois.

FAACT’s eighth annual Teen Retreat, designed specifically for youth and young adults ages 11-22, is all about #tweens , #teens , and #college #students , their #siblings , and their parents/caregivers. Teens will learn about managing their #foodallergies and, more importantly, spend time with #peers who have food allergies, #asthma , #EGID ’s, #FPIES , #Celiac (and siblings who do not). Siblings are also affected when a family member has food allergies, and our #TeenRetreat provides a safe place for them to discuss their concerns with a group who understands and can share their own experiences, advice, and solutions.

We are excited to announce that Curtis Zimmerman will be joining us again as our keynote speaker! Curtis is always a huge hit with teens and #families . As a person managing celiac disease, Zimmerman relates to the challenges faced by food-allergic groups. It is going to be an inspirational, empowering weekend for all.
