How to deal with anaphylactic shock 1

I got stung by a wasp on Saturday 3rd August 2013 whilst out riding my bike. I went into Anaphylactic shock within 3 minutes. Luckily I carry emergency supplies, EpiPens, Antihistamines, Inhalers. This is my story of having now survived 72 anaphylactic reactions. Don't be complacent about Allergies, they can be fatal! Original music had to be changed to "Help Me Make It" by VAN TRAMP in order for this video to be played on mobile phones and tablets.

Since I made this video, I have had a further 7 anaphylactic reactions, but got through them as I was well prepared.

I am a photographer and a cyclist racing at National level mountain biking. I was out on a training ride when this happened.

In August 2013, our team Captain Kip got stung in the chest by a wasp whilst out on a team training ride preparing for a 12 hour mountain bike race. Within 3 minutes she was fighting for her life in full blown anaphylactic shock. Thankfully she had always briefed the team on what to do and along with her calmness, carrying her medical supplies which included 2 EpiPens and our fellow team mate Matt's quick actions, paramedics and ambulances were on the scene within minutes. Kip suffered life threatening complications and experienced multiple reactions to this one exposure and spent many months very ill. If we can help change one person's life and raise funds and awareness it will make all that Kip went through, in a way worthwhile. No matter how big or small the donation, please help us to help others. Thanks the Daisy Dog Photos Endurance Riders Cycling Team.
