Initial steps
If you suspect that you've inadvertently consumed Wendy's Apple Cranberry Salad and may have an allergic reaction due to an allergy to Wheat, Soy, Milk, Egg, or Tree Nuts:
Stop consuming the salad immediately.
If you've just consumed a small amount, stop immediately. The less of the allergen you consume, the less severe your allergic reaction will be.
Monitor your symptoms closely.
Allergic reactions can range from mild to severe. Common symptoms include a rash, itching, shortness of breath, stomach pain, vomiting, or diarrhea. In severe cases, anaphylaxis can occur, which is a life-threatening allergic reaction that requires immediate medical attention.
Seeking medical assistance
If you experience any severe symptoms or have trouble breathing, seek medical help immediately.
Call for emergency help
In the US, call 911 for any severe allergic reactions, particularly any difficulty in breathing.
Go to the nearest emergency department
You should head to the nearest emergency medical facility as soon as possible, ideally with someone else driving.
Inform medical professionals about your allergen
Once you're able to get medical attention, let the doctors or nurses know that you've consumed something you're allergic to. Knowing the specific allergen can help them treat your symptoms more effectively.
After an allergic reaction
Once you've gotten medical attention and are in stable condition,
Follow doctor's instructions carefully
You'll likely be prescribed some medication or given instructions to manage your symptoms. Make sure to follow these meticulously.
Consult an allergist
After an allergic reaction, it's a good idea to consult an allergist. They can help identify exactly what caused your allergic reaction and suggest how you can avoid future reactions.
About Curex
Curex is a pioneer in the field of allergy immunotherapy. Based in the UK, the company is dedicated to creating innovative treatments for allergies. They offer two types of therapy: Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) and Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT).
Their treatments involve slowly introducing the body to allergens so that it can gradually build up immunity. This potentially curative treatment can ensure that your body doesn't react negatively to allergies in the future, allowing you to reintroduce foods and substances you're allergic to.
However, it's important to consult with your doctor or allergist before beginning immunotherapy. They'll be able to evaluate your allergies and overall health to decide if this type of treatment is right for you.
