Below are the sources I used while doing my research
My first source was from a article on a website titled " Shock , Anaphylactic. It was about what Anaphylactic shock is and the symptoms that come with it. It also has a video about what to do when someone goes into Anaphylactic shock or any other emergency situation and what to do until professional help arrives..My second source came from YouTube.com It was a commercial featuring the Mylan company. A little girl was about to get on her school bus after her mom placed her EpiPen in her book bag. The narrator talks about what Anaphylactic shock is and side effects from using an Epipen.My third source came from an article about a company called Mylan who have recently made it necessary for all U.S. schools to carry EpiPens.
