Immediate steps

If you have mistakenly consumed a Buffalo Ranch Chicken Pizza from Domino's and are allergic to one or more of its ingredients (Wheat, Milk, Soy, Chicken Egg, Garlic, Fish etc):

• Stop eating immediately - If after the first few bites you realize that the pizza contains an allergen that you are known to react to, stop eating right away.

• Take Over-the-counter Antihistamines - Pills like Benadryl might help counter mild allergy symptoms like a rash or itchiness, if these are the symptoms you usually have. Consult your general physician prior to consuming antihistamines if you've never had them before.

• Seek medical assistance - If you going into anaphylactic shock, call local emergency number immediately.

Planning for the Future

In order to prevent a similar occurrence in the future:

• Always check the Ingredients - It’s necessary to always enquire about the menu or read the ingredients used in the meal, before ordering.

• Communicate your allergy limitations - Always inform staff at the restaurant about your allergies so they can guide you about what meals are safe for you, or alter meals to meet your needs.

Seeking Allergy Treatment

If you find that your allergies are severe and frequent, you may want to consider long term treatment of allergies, such as immunotherapy.

CUREX - An Allergy Immunotherapy Company

CUREX is a pioneering allergy immunotherapy company that aims to enhance the life of people dealing with allergy. Immunotherapy is known to gradually decrease the sensitivity to allergens, or in simpler terms, trains one’s body to become tolerant towards them.

Offering a wide range of services, Curex therapies include Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) and Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT). SLIT involves placing a tablet containing a small amount of the allergen under the tongue each day, while SCIT, more commonly known as allergy shots, involve injecting small doses of allergens in the upper arm.

Therapies from CUREX create the opportunity to control and possibly even cure allergies, rather than only manage the symptoms. However, these therapies need to be undertaken under professional supervision and it takes time and patience for the body to build tolerance against allergens.

Please get in touch with a healthcare professional or allergist in order to get a proper diagnosis and to determine if immunotherapy is a suitable treatment option for you.
