Question 22 • Food Safety and Sanitation

In case of an allergic reaction, it is best to _____.

Answer
A
have the person experiencing the reaction stand and walk continuously until medical care arrives
B
call emergency medical services
C
administer Ipecac syrup, to induce vomiting
D
apply cold compresses to the face and neck

Explanation

Call emergency medical services because an allergic reaction can quickly become life-threatening, especially if it causes trouble breathing or swelling of the throat. Keep the person as calm and comfortable as possible while help is on the way. Walking continuously, inducing vomiting with Ipecac, or applying cold compresses does not treat a severe allergic reaction.
