Immediate action
In the case that you unintentionally consume the Farmhouse King from Burger King and you have an allergy to one or more of its ingredients (Wheat, Eggs, Milk, Soy, Fish (anchovies), Sulfites), please take the following steps immediately:
- If symptoms are severe or you are experiencing anaphylaxis, immediately call emergency services (911).
- Try to remain calm as stress can exacerbate the allergic reactions.
- If you carry an emergency allergy medication form like an EpiPen or Twinject, use it. If not, over-the-counter antihistamines may help alleviate some symptoms, such as itchiness or hives.
Managing Symptoms
Once the initial situation is under control, you may expect to manage the lingering effects of the allergen exposure depending on the severity. This may include:
- Mild Symptoms: Can typically be managed with over-the-counter or prescribed antihistamines to alleviate itching, sneezing, or hives. Certain topical creams or ointments may also be useful for skin reactions.
- Moderate to Severe Symptoms: May require corticosteroids; these are often prescribed by a healthcare professional if the reaction cannot be managed with antihistamines alone.
- Severe Reactions and Anaphylaxis: May require hospitalization or extensive medical intervention.
Long-Term Management
Dining out while managing food allergies can be challenging. Consider taking proactive steps:
- Always check the allergen information before trying a new food or dining at a new restaurant.
- Always carry your necessary allergy medications with you.
- Inform your dining companions about your allergies so they're prepared in case of a reaction.
- Find alternative food options that you can safely enjoy.
