From insect stings to hidden food triggers, here’s how to prepare for a safer, more enjoyable season outdoors.
Summer is the perfect time for outdoor fun – like camping, playing sports, or going to the beach. But for those with severe allergies, the summer season can bring added risks, not just from foods, but also increased exposure to insect stings, bites, or other unexpected environmental allergy triggers. The good news is that with a little planning, you can still safely enjoy everything summer has to offer.
For all your summer adventures, you can carry neffy as an emergency treatment for allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, in adults and children aged 4 years and older who weigh 33 lbs. or greater.
Research ahead of time.
Whether you are headed to a concert, restaurant, or going camping, calling ahead can give you a head’s up on any allergy-friendly policies in place. If you are headed to a vacation rental, check out nearby grocery options to see if they carry your favorite allergy-safe brands, or consider shopping in advance and bringing foods from home.
Pack your own snacks.
At large gatherings and events, food cross-contamination can be hard to avoid. Bringing your own safe snacks is a great way to allow you to relax and enjoy the day without having to worry about an accidental exposure – or being hungry.
Carry a medical ID.
Wearing a medical ID, such as a bracelet or necklace, can help speak for you if you are not able. Make sure that your ID clearly lists your allergies and includes emergency contact information.
Always be prepared.
If you or your loved one has a history of severe allergies, carrying epinephrine when you are out and about is essential. Make sure to always carry two doses and check that anyone you are spending time with is aware of what to do in case of a reaction.
“There are lots of reasons why neffy is convenient for families on the go – it’s small enough to fit in a waist bag or a pocket, so parents and kids can take it everywhere” said Dr. Nicole Chase, Allergy/Immunology and Pediatrics, St. Paul Allergy & Asthma. “While it should be stored at room temperature, it can handle temperatures up to 122° F1 for a few days, so you won’t have to stress if you accidentally leave it in the car, or if you’re outside on a super hot day.”

WHAT IS neffy?
neffy is a nasal spray used for emergency treatment of allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, in adults and children aged 4 years and older who weigh 33 lbs. or greater.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
What is the most important information that I should know about neffy?
neffy contains epinephrine, a medicine used to treat allergic emergencies (anaphylaxis). Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening, can happen in minutes, and can be caused by stinging and biting insects, allergy injections, foods, medicines, exercise, or other unknown causes.
Always carry two neffy nasal sprays with you because you may not know when anaphylaxis may happen and because you may need a second dose of neffy if symptoms continue or come back. Each neffy contains a single dose of epinephrine. neffy is for use in the nose only.
Use neffy right away, as soon as you notice symptoms of an allergic reaction. If symptoms continue or get worse after the first dose of neffy, a second dose is needed. If needed, administer a second dose using a new neffy in the same nostril starting 5 minutes after the first dose. Get emergency medical help for further treatment of the allergic emergency (anaphylaxis), if needed after using neffy.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have underlying structural or anatomical nasal conditions, about all the medicines you take, and about all your medical conditions, especially if you have heart problems, kidney problems, low potassium in your blood, Parkinson’s disease, thyroid problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, or plan to breastfeed.
Tell your healthcare provider if you take or use other nasal sprays or water pills (diuretics) or if you take medicines to treat depression, abnormal heart beats, Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, thyroid disease, medicines used in labor, and medicines to treat allergies. neffy and other medications may affect each other, causing side effects. neffy may affect the way other medicines work, and other medicines may affect how neffy works.
What are the side effects of neffy?
neffy may cause serious side effects. If you have certain medical conditions or take certain medicines, your condition may get worse, or you may have more or longer lasting side effects when you use neffy.
Common side effects of neffy include: nasal discomfort, headache, throat irritation, chest and nasal congestion, feeling overly excited, nervous or anxious, nose bleed, nose pain, sneezing, runny nose, dry nose or throat, tingling sensation, including in the nose, feeling tired, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.
