Share #KnowItTreatIt on social!
This Food Allergy Awareness Month, get involved by sharing our #KnowItTreatIt campaign on social media.
This campaign showcases real stories on the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis and the treatment for it. We encourage you to share your very own “Know it. Treat it.” story throughout the month (and enter our contest for your chance to win amazing and exclusive prizes!). The campaign also features educational facts on anaphylaxis and its treatment. These facts are fun, educational, and super easy to share! Help raise awareness without leaving your home!
