I wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving with their families. And for those of us who have to work, hopefully you will have some down time to enjoy a meal with your "work family". 

In case of the unfortunate event of someone choking during the feast, you should know how to help them. This webpage has a quick step by step on how to relieve choking:

Another important safety concern is allergic reactions. If you have a food allergy make certain the ingredient was not used in your meal. If you have an epi-pen, make sure your loved ones know how to use it for you, and vice versa if another family member has one. Severe allergic reactions / anaphylaxis may be characterized by facial swelling, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing, wheezing, chest tightness, etc. 

Lastly, if you are planning on camping out for the Black Friday deals remember to stay well hydrated, nourished, and warm. 

For further information on any of these skills, you may take one of our classes and become a certified provider! The online portion can even be completed right now before the Holiday. 

Stay Safe!
