Recognizing an Allergic Reaction:
If you've consumed XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito from Taco Bell and suspect an allergic reaction to one of its allergens (Wheat, Milk, Soy, Egg, Fish, Gluten), there are several symptoms to look out for:
- Skin reactions including hives, itching or eczema.
- Swelling of the lips, face, tongue and throat, or other parts of the body.
- Nasal congestion or trouble breathing.
- Abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting.
- Dizziness, light-headedness or fainting.
Note: In severe cases, you may experience anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. Symptoms include a rapid, weak pulse, a skin rash, nausea and vomiting. If you suspect anaphylaxis, seek immediate medical attention.
What to do:
Follow these steps if you're experiencing an allergic reaction:
Seek Immediate Medical Attention: If you experience severe symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or swallowing, seek immediate emergency medical attention.
Use Prescribed Medications: If you were previously diagnosed with a food allergy, you might have been prescribed an emergency epinephrine autoinjector. Use it as directed.
Take Antihistamines: Over-the-counter medications such as antihistamines can help mild symptoms, but they cannot treat severe reactions.
- Try to Determine What You Are Allergic To: Note down everything you ate before the allergic reaction started and consult with your healthcare provider.
