What would happen if someone ate something they were allergic to?

You need to get to an emergency room immediately for medication to control the allergic reaction. If you have an EpiPen, you have to take it but you should still call an ambulance to get to the hospital. Without an EpiPen, you can also take some Benadryl and/or Zantac as soon as possible to help with the reaction before going to the hospital. You need to be observed in a hospital since you can have a delayed reaction a few hours later that can be fatal and often gets overlooked initially so you're not out of the woods after the first set of symptoms.
