Food Allergies Resources

[fetch, BSN, RN]

I'm trying to gather resources to send home about severe allergies, especially food and insect bites. So far most of what I've found that's free isn't something I can print and make copies of (16 pages, lots of color, etc). Found a few good things, but they all cost mucho moolah.

I just got a bunch of FREE fact sheets about lice to send home from NASN, does anyone know of anything similar for allergies? I can't find anything on CDC, FARE, or NASN websites. I haven't asked if I have a budget for this sort of thing but I'm guessing the answer is probably "LOL no."

There's a lot of free stuff out there. You just have to look. I found a lot of resources and since there wasn't a single one I loved I used them to compile my own little 4 page packet. The first page is the parent's consent, 2nd page is for the Physician to fill out, 3rd page is a checklist for the Physician, Parent, and Student to fill out for the student to self-administer/carry, and the 4th is just an Epi-pen reference page for my staff.

I have been looking, and haven't been able to find anything. That's why I was asking for help, like specific websites.

ETA: I'm not looking for consent forms or the like, my district has those already. I'm looking for education for parents.

I am not a school nurse (yet), but we have nut allergies in our house. Don't forget international websites; there are some great infographics on UK and Canadian sites. Here is a great printable on anaphylaxis from safe4kids.ca: Safe4Kids
