Never again do we want to see an ‘avoidable’ allergy death headlining the news.
Our Kitts have been there when needed most.
Our goal is to create a new standard for allergy care - one that is proactive rather than reactive.
Since we launched in January 2024, our Anaphylaxis Kitts have been used to treat life-threatening allergic reactions on 9 occasions.

A 3-year-old child had their first allergic reaction whilst at nursery. They had not been prescribed adrenaline pens so the on-site Anaphylaxis Kitt was used to treat them.
Adrenaline needs to be made more accessible.
The number of adrenaline pen prescriptions has increased by over 300% in the last 20 years* - but studies have found that most people at risk of severe allergic reactions do not have adrenaline pens.
People can forget their adrenaline pens, often expiring before they’re replaced.
In some cases, people develop new allergies and only find this out when they experience their first allergic reaction.
Severe anaphylactic reactions can require multiple doses of adrenaline to treat symptoms properly.
Our goal is to have Anaphylaxis Kitts installed in schools and qualifying businesses all across the UK, similar to defibrillators. They can be accessed by trained staff for use in emergencies to treat life-threatening allergic reactions, whenever and wherever they occur.
