Last week, we had a serious food allergy case present right here in the pharmacy - a scary reminder of how quickly things can escalate :/ I had the Adrenaline ready to go, but very fortunately we didn’t need to use it.
Food allergies can range from mild to life-threatening… even the smallest bite can be dangerous for some people. Knowing the signs could save a life.
➝ Swelling – face, eyes, lips or tongue
➝ Digestive symptoms – cramps, diarrhoea, nausea or vomiting
➝ Breathing difficulty – tight throat, coughing, wheezing, trouble talking
➝ Serious warning signs – pale, weak, dizzy, racing heart
If you’re ever unsure - act fast and seek help immediately.
