(OPEN):
WHILE THE CORONAVIRUS-PANDEMIC TRULY AFFECTS EVERYONE, IT CAN HAVE A LARGER IMPACT ON THOSE WITH A FOOD-ALLERGY.
DOCTOR TOM CASALE ["CAS-ALL-AY"] IS THE CHIEF MEDICAL-ADVISOR AT
"FOOD-ALLERGY RESEARCH AND EDUCATION"--OR "FARE"...
(CASALE):
"'COVID-19' IS AT THE TOP OF
EVERYONE'S MIND. HOWEVER, THAT MIGHT BE ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR THE 32-MILLION AMERICANS WHO LIVE WITH A FOOD-ALLERGY.
AS DOCTORS, WE USUALLY INSTRUCT PATIENTS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING 'ANAPHYLAXIS' TO SEEK EMERGENCY MEDICAL-CARE, IMMEDIATELY AFTER INJECTING
'EPINEPHRINE'. BUT, THESE AREN'T USUAL TIMES--AS PEOPLE ARE FEARFUL TO VISIT AN
'EMERGENCY'-DEPARTMENT OR 'URGENT CARE'. I'VE JUST PUBLISHED A PAPER IN
'THE JOURNAL OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY: IN PRACTICE' THAT BREAKS DOWN A NEW ALGORITHM FOR AT-HOME CARE FOR
'ANAPHYLAXIS'--INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE 'EMERGENCY'-DEPARTMENT. STILL, THIS
ISN'T FOR EVERYONE: ALL PATIENTS SHOULD FIRST CONSULT THEIR HEALTHCARE-PROVIDER, TO DETERMINE THE BEST COURSE FOR THEM."
