Eight years after losing their son, Dillon, to an undiagnosed bee sting allergy, Angel and George Mueller of rural Mishicot are helping get the awareness and education into college campuses across Wisconsin.
The Mueller’s worked to create a new state law, Dillon’s law 2.0, which allows people who take an anaphylaxis training course to take their certificate to a pharmacist and obtain an epinephrine injector.
Next Tuesday (September 27th), students at UW-Stevens Point will present the first student-run anaphylaxis training program.
Also, Stevens Point Mayor Mike Wiza, who will be on hand at the 5:30 p.m. presentation, has created an anaphylaxis action plan making sure epinephrine is available near every defibrillator and that every city employee has proper training.

The mayor’s plan, combined with the student leadership and faculty support from UWSP set the highest standards in the country for anaphylaxis awareness and preparedness.
National legislation for Wisconsin’s Dillon Law is gaining support after Indiana and Minnesota have already passed their own version of the law.
