Step 3: If breathing difficulty — call 112 and use epinephrine if prescribed
Step 4: Give antihistamine only if awake and no severe symptoms
Step 5: Inform hospital staff of latex allergy before any procedure
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Do NOT assume nitrile gloves are safe without checking — some cross-react.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Do NOT hide allergy from paramedics — they must use latex-free equipment.
Wheeze, throat tightness, or fainting needs emergency care.
