Anaphylaxis is an extreme, life-threatening allergic reaction in which the whole body is affected in minutes. Mylan Specialty, L.P. and “Modern Family” actress Julie Bowen have teamed up in order to put their efforts towards education society with “Raise their Hand for Anaphylaxis Awareness,” a competition amongst school districts to show awareness of this condition. It has been found that 1 in 13 American children have some form of a food allergy. A study for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has found that food allergies have increased by 18% from 1997 to 2007.
