Realizing Allergen Exposure
If you have realized you've consumed an Angry Whopper from Burger King and are allergic to one of the ingredients, here's what you should do -
Stop Eating - The first thing you should do is stop eating the burger immediately to prevent further ingestion of the allergen. The less you have consumed, the less severe your reaction may be.
Recognize the Symptoms - Allergic reactions can range from mild to severe. Symptoms include but are not limited to skin rashes, itching, swelling, vomiting, wheezing, and faintness. Severe symptoms include difficulty breathing and loss of consciousness indicating anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction.
Seek Immediate Medical Help - If your symptoms are severe or worsening, seek immediate medical attention. Call your local emergency number or go to the emergency department of the nearest hospital.

Communicate your Allergy - Always inform restaurant staff about your allergies before you order to ensure your food doesn't contain any hidden or cross-contaminated allergens.
Carry Antihistamine - Antihistamine can help control mild allergic reactions until you can get medical help. Make sure to carry it with you at all times and ensure it hasn't expired.
Remember your safety is paramount. As annoying as it might be to have to constantly check for allergens, it is the key step in preventing allergic reactions. With proper precautions, it's entirely possible to have a fun, safe dining experience.
