Reacting Swiftly

In case you have consumed Wendy’s 6-Piece Chicken Nuggets and realized that you are allergic to one of the allergens present in it including-- wheat, milk, soy, or egg--react swiftly! The key is to act fast and follow these guidelines.

Understand The Symptoms

Allergies are highly personalized. Their severity can range from one person to another and can be categorized from mild to severe. Here are some common symptoms of allergic reactions:

• Itching or tingling in the mouth
• Hives, itching or eczema
• Swelling of the lips, face, tongue and throat, or other parts of the body
• Wheezing, nasal congestion or difficulty breathing
• Abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea or vomiting
• Dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting

In severe cases, these symptoms can lead to anaphylaxis, a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death. If you notice any of these signs and symptoms, it’s time to act.

Initial Aid

If you carry an epinephrine auto-injector (EpiPen) for known allergies, use it without delay. It should not be looked over, especially when severe allergies such as anaphylaxis are suspected. If symptoms persist, consider using another dose of EpiPen after about 5 to 15 minutes.

Medical Attention

Seek immediate medical help! Call your local emergency medical helpline or head to the nearest emergency department. Make sure you inform the healthcare providers about your allergies and the food you just consumed. If an EpiPen was used, let them know too.

Allergy Immunotherapy

To avoid future incidents, it is imperative to consider Allergy Immunotherapy. This type of therapy is the only treatment that can change the underlying disease, not just the symptoms.

Lastly, It’s all about prevention. Always be sure what you are eating, especially when you're eating prepared meals from outside. Remember to keep checking food labels or asking about food ingredients to manage your food allergies better.
