Many reality television shows have come and gone over the years. However, one of the most memorable is “Supernanny,” which aired on ABC and Lifetime. The show featured Jo Frost traveling to different homes in the US to help families.Â
Recently, Jo Frost took to her social media to share that she’s currently suffering from Anaphylaxis. She went into detail about her symptoms and also expressed a desire to help others who may be suffering from the same life-threatening medical condition.Â
Former Supernanny Star Jo Frost Is Opening Up About Her Condition
Jo Frost took to her Instagram account to discuss her battle with Anaphylaxis. She said in the video, “Iâve survived more anaphylactic shocks than Iâm prepared to go into detail about right now.” She then began to go into detail about the condition.Â
Jo continued, “I have anaphylaxis, a life-threatening medical condition to certain foods that will compromise my body so horrifically to the point of hospitalization.” She went on, “Absolute millions of my community around the world. Children and adults live causiously and anxiously navigating the journey with not nearly enough compassion, education, and empathy from those who do not.”
Jo Frost then said, “Today, everyone will know someone, or someone who knows of one with Anaphylaxis. If you ignore the severity of this medical condition, it’s as bad as shoving a loaded gun in my face.”
She went on to say that she’s “unapologetic” about her condition and that it does not define her as a person. Still, Jo Frost admits that this medical condition does impact her life daily. Additionally, she called out companies that use labels on food items stating that they “may contain” certain ingredients in order to legally protect themselves.Â
Anaphylaxis Is A Serious Condition
Many people may be unaware of how serious a condition Anaphylaxis is. According to The Mayo Clinic, it’s a severe allergic reaction that can be life-threatening in some instances. This can happen within minutes or even seconds after being exposed to something the person is allergic to.Â
In a nutshell, this condition causes the immune system to release chemicals that can result in the person going into shock. This isn’t only caused by food someone is allergic to. Medication, insect venom, and latex can also cause the reaction. As Jo Frost said, this can lead to hospitalization in some cases. Symptoms include weak pulse, skin rashes, nausea, and vomiting.
