Medical Alert Jewelry (most common: id bracelets) are personal safety items that everyone with a serious condition or allergy should have. There are many places that you can find a wide variety of styles, especially on the internet. Most are custom-engraved, stainless steel alert bracelets and necklaces. Each alert ID should be able to hold between four to six lines of vital condition and contact information and engraved in red so the information is easy to read by emergency personnel.
Over 60 million Americans have a serious condition, which should be immediately known to Emergency Personnel. Diabetes, alzheimers care, mentally disabled/challanged, patient's currently on Blood Thinners, asthma, individuals that are HIV positive or that have hepatitis, heart disease patients, cancer patients, children should have one for identification purposes (child safety), people who have drug allergies to medications such as penicillin, codeine, antibiotics, bee stings or any other medications.
These ID Bracelets or Necklaces are designed to be noticed by trained emergency personnel. Wear them for yourself and for your family and loved ones, with this valuable information your emergency worker will already be ahead of the game. Remember your Alert ID speaks when you can not!
Children especially should have the proper information on them at all times, especially if they have a specific condition. Childhood Asthma, type 1 or type 2 Diabetes, Bee Sting Allergy, Hearing-Impaired, or any other condition that medical personnel should know about when you can not be with your child. Children are active and we love to see them enjoy life and the happiness the can bring to others, so when you can not be there to give this vitally important information be sure their ID can! Update the information as needed, the price of a new medical alert bracelet is only a small price when weighed against the alternative. Also have more than just one, such as: Bracelet and Wallet card or both a bracelet and a necklace if active in sports when a necklace could cause injury.
We do hope this site has provided valuable insight into Medical Alert Jewelry and that if you do not have one yet, you will get one NOW!
