Recognizing the Allergic Reaction

If you have eaten a Breakfast Quesadilla from Taco Bell and know that you are allergic to any of the main allergens—Eggs, Milk, Wheat, Soybean, Gluten—it's important, first off, to recognize the symptoms of an allergic reaction.

Symptoms can range from mild to severe and can include the following:

• Hives or red, itchy skin
• Swelling of the tongue, lips or throat
• Abdominal discomfort or vomiting
• Shortness of breath or wheezing
• Dizziness or faintness

Taking Immediate Action

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms:

• Try an over-the-counter antihistamine, if the symptoms are mild and there's no difficulty in breathing.

• In case you carry an epinephrine autoinjector (EpiPen), use it without delay. Remember, delaying can lead to serious consequences.

Seeking Medical Help

Reach out to medical professionals immediately.

• In urgent cases, don't hesitate to call an ambulance or rush to the nearest emergency room.

In the meanwhile:

• Try to stay calm and keep your breathing steady
• Keep a tab of the symptoms and their progression to share accurate information with the medical team

Connect With an Allergist

After dealing with an immediate allergic episode, it's always advisable to consult an allergist. They will help you:

• Identify triggers
• Formulate an emergency action plan
• Prescribe medications or therapies, including carrying self-injectable epinephrine, which is life-saving in emergency situations.
