Potential allergic reactions and their sequelae are common complaints encountered in the EMS system. Allergic reactions can be triggered by many agents, such as foods, medications, topical products, and limitless environmental exposures including arthropod stings. Severity can vary from local reactions and discomfort to life‐threatening systemic anaphylaxis. EMS physicians and other clinicians must be able to rapidly recognize the manifestations of allergic reactions and anaphylaxis and begin prehospital treatment that can be lifesaving.
