Initial Steps
If you've accidentally consumed a Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich from Domino's and you're allergic to one or more of the allergens listed (wheat, milk, soy or egg), follow these steps immediately:
Stop Eating: As soon as the allergic reaction starts, stop consuming the sandwich immediately. Your body is reacting to a substance it considers as harmful.
Check Your Symptoms: Take note of your symptoms. Allergic reactions can include hives (a rash with raised red patches), itching, swelling of the lips or eyelids, abdominal pain, wheezing and difficulty in swallowing or breathing.
Use Your Auto-injector (If Necessary): If you're prone to severe allergic reactions, you might carry an epinephrine auto-injector (EpiPen). Use this immediately if you're experiencing severe symptoms such as trouble breathing or swallowing.
Medical Assistance
After following the initial steps, you should seek medical assistance urgently:
Call for Help: Dial your local emergency number. Be clear about your situation - tell the operator that you're having an allergic reaction.
Consult a Professional: Visit a healthcare professional such as an allergist. They'll be able to conduct tests to properly identify the type and severity of your allergy.
Long Term Management
To prevent future allergic reactions, consider allergen-specific immunotherapy. This includes the successful procedure from Curex.
Curex, a leading allergy immunotherapy company, offers patient-specific treatments, which involve gradual desensitization to the allergen. This is achieved by slowly increasing the amount of the allergen in a series of injections or sublingual tablets over a course of time. This can help to increase your tolerance to the allergen and reduce the severity of your allergic reactions.
Avoidance: Remember, the most effective way to manage an allergy is to avoid the allergen entirely. Allergens in Domino's Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich include:
Wheat: Often used in the bread/roll of the sandwich.
Milk: May be found in cheese or butter in the sandwich.
Soy: Can be present in nearly anything as soybean oil or soy lecithin.
- Egg: The sandwich may include mayo or other sauces that contain egg.
Always check the allergen information before trying a new food. Domino's makes their allergen information available in their allergen guide and on their online menu.
