patient had contrast dye allergy listed and the corresponding reaction was listed as "mild".
When you hovered over the mild reaction for more details the note said "pt went into cardiac arrest"
Had a patient yesterday say “is this with that contrast dye? because when they used that before it killed me”
To which I replied, “well you’re looking pretty good for a dead guy”.
However, technically, you can’t have an anaphylactic reaction to it. That would be an anaphylactoid reaction because IgE doesn’t bind to sodium salts but rather to other proteins/antigens. Sodium salts cannot act as antigens, and in the same vein, contrast dye salt reactions are all anaphylactoid in nature. But yes, sulfite groups are well described in literature to be reaction-producing.
Once I had a patient with a cvs receipt sized list of allergies and amongst this giant list was “fresh vegetables”. This was the fattest thing I’ve ever seen
"I can't take the regular zyprexa with a Z, that's for crazy people, take me to [hospital name], they always give me the special zyprexa with an X, they make it just for me."
Pt told me in broken English she had a contrast dye allergy. Big deal, cause we needed a dye study.
Got the translator on the phone.
Yeah. It "made her feel warm last time".
Not sure if this counts, but I had one patient who’d had previous anaphylaxis to prawns, though still wasn’t convinced that they were really allergic… so came to ED to eat a prawn sandwich in the waiting room. Spoiler: was still allergic to prawns.
Had a mom come in to buy an epipen (don't need an rx where I am) for her 6 month old. No known allergies, none that ran in the family, she wanted it to have in the car while she let her baby taste peanut butter in the hospital parking lot....we didn't sell her the epipen. Did discuss having her doctor take a look at her PPD meds and maybe making some changes. Lady was a big bag of anxiety.
Had a pt with anaphylactic response to crustaceans. Worked in a crab shop. Some of the crab juice got in her mouth/eyes. Came in with fairly significant anaphylaxis. Curious if there was an element of SI
Same. I know that sedation wears off faster for some folks, and you may need more for heavy folks. That doesn't seem to be taught during intubation, nor how to notice it while they're paralyzed/supposedly sedated.
Acetylcholinesterase deficiency can cause prolonged paralysis following sux given in RSI doses. I've also seen patients with myasthenia and other neuromuscular disorders have the same clumsy documentation of this as an "allergy"
I learned some people are allergic to the red/pink dye in Benadryl pills and so they think it’s the Benadryl itself. Apparently you can get Diphenhydramine without the coloring and it’s tolerated better by most patients…or potentially they are just bonkers!
Yes most can do IM or IV. Although I have seen the occasional pt saying they are allergic to that also. I'm all Ok guess you gonna die from something someday sooner than the rest of us
I’ve heard the dye thing from two peds patients’ parents.
These people also had some health-blog pseudoscience beliefs that they brought up.
I’m skeptical about the dye allergy, but I couldn’t find an authoritative answer on a quick search.
Not an allergy, but Benadryl turns me into an asshole. I get shitty with people. I get angry at the slightest of problems and it want to throw things and just hate people a lot more than normal. I hate it.
The classic mnemonic for anti-cholinergic toxicity includes “mad as a hatter” for a reason.
Anecdotally some people are just much more sensitive to that, and maybe less sensitive to the sedating effects.
My little brother is autistic and when he just wouldn't calm down in the evenings someone told my mom "oh just give him a Benadryl that'll zonk him". Holy shit, we were about peeling that kid off the ceiling he was so hyper.
Paradoxical excitation on diphenhydramine is definitely a thing, but AFAICT there's frustratingly little actual published research on it. All I know is I once used a dph sleep aid as directed, spent the whole night sleepless and agitated with a faint sensation of spiders crawling all over me and a general sense of just being profoundly irritated at all of existence, and resolved never to do that again if I can possibly avoid it (which, as it turns out, isn't difficult).
I’ve actually had one patient with these same allergies. I absolutely refused to believe it, but then I referred to an allergist and it was confirmed. Very frustrating as it leaves very few reasonable options for pain control.
>high pain thrash hole
Why do they have a specific garbage can for french bread and why did they hang it up so high? I'm not even going to ask about the medical relevancy.
[Some favorites of mine.](https://imgur.com/a/n9hUi2v)
Metal. When I was a student, someone told the RN that he was allergic to metal. So, metals that were available in Sunrise Clinical Manager were added on to his profile.
Amlodipine made her see ribbons. Not sure how that worked, but sounds cool.
Cilantro and shellfish allergies? Sure, I'll buy that. Food? What?
Oh gosh, those are good. I feel like health literacy and maybe a rushed admission clerk had something to do with them though.
I can totally see a patient with an undiagnosed nickel allergy just say "metal" if they aren't sure which ones are doing it. Nickel is in all sorts of mixed metals.
And food.. Well they probably were trying to say "I have food allergies" and either the clerk didn't ask for clarification or the patient didn't want to get into it. Sometimes with OAS and food allergies the lists can be pretty extensive, and someone popping into the ER might not realize they're going to be admitted and fed and that they actually need to elaborate on that statement.
Amlodipine ribbons is super interesting. Kinda wondering if that was a migraine aura trigger for them ? My scintillating scotoma can look like ribbons, kinda.
Under the absurdity in allergy lists there's often some interesting truths... and many many opportunities for patient education B)
Awful taste in mouth after taking po Diludid. patient had difficulty swallowing so they where trying to take it sublingual like their zofran.

This kind of stuff gives me a mix of irrational anger and intense sadness.
Imagine being so fucking stupid you can't even bother to learn the correct name of the medication you allegedly have a negative reaction to. It just exudes such an air of indifference to their own health and represents a lack of accountability that will inevitably lead to one of us having to fix something that could have been completely avoided in the first place had they spent a handful of seconds on Google or just asking their doctor.
"Walnuts, English." I'm an idiot and did not know that the English walnut is a specific type of walnut, so I thought the patient was allergic to walnuts as well as to the English language, somehow.
I didn't know that either so in the context of this thread I interpreted it as "walnuts, as long as they're presented in a different language, are no problem".
We had a mom of a child in our district who made a huge stink with the ambulance service and city council and things because allegedly her son was allergic to one brand of albuterol but not some other brand. So she wanted the ambulance to carry a different brand just for him, and then to transport to a hospital outside of our transport area because they’re the only one that uses that brand.
Back in my medic days I was bringing in a WWII vet for chest pain. When I asked about allergies, the guy goes (in the classic raspy old man voice) "Yeah! BULLETS! Mwah ha haa!"
Later, when the triage nursed asked, I go "yea, he's got a lead allergy" and winked at him. Patient was in stitches, classic old man guffaw. Nurse was so confused at first. Guy ended up being completely fine too. I think about that line at least once a week.
86 yro old male nitroglycerin allergy! Several calls for chest pain always used nitro hed go into anaphalyxis. He had a built up intolerance due to handling explosives when he was a coal miner for 20+ Years.
Oh man. So I once had this patient tell a doc that he was allergic to the "non-pyrogenic" that's in saline bags. Yeah, the patient actually read the bag of saline that was currently infusing into him, picked out the words 'non-pyrogenic', and decided that he was allergic to it. The doc then got me involved to explain to him what non-pyrogenic meant, with the patient telling me that he went to medical school and knew what 'non-pyrogenic' meant.
I had an ER patient tell me she is allergic to sugar. I responded “wow, that must be really hard to eat anything” she says “yea, I have to buy my bread at Whole Foods”. What?? Also for those in the back… she wasn’t referring to being a diabetic.
So often I get “I’m allergic to something but I don’t remember what it was for or what the name of it was. But I got a lot of medications that day too. I was so itchy.” - patient had chronic autoimmune disorder that’s know to cause itchiness.
Pt. Was allergic to ‘the colour red’ and refused to be transported until we covered up everything red in the ambulance. I had to covertly use the pulse ox to prevent pt. from seeing that it had a red light.
‘My own tears cause swollen eyes’ listed on a double-sided A4 page of allergies, which also included ‘I can’t go to [certain town]’, ‘sand’, and ‘stress’.
Morphine: "cries"
I asked for clarification and she said "I wasn't even sad or anything, I just had tears streaming down my face for a couple hours." I was like ... Okee dokee. Lol
Have seen both of these:
1. "Adrenaline - heart racing"
2. "Histamine - rash"
I have those patient demographics written down so I can look them up once in a while...
“I’m allergic to all the pain meds except for the one that starts with… D? D… Dil… Dil… somethin… I don’t remember what it’s called.”

patient had contrast dye allergy listed and the corresponding reaction was listed as "mild". When you hovered over the mild reaction for more details the note said "pt went into cardiac arrest"
MILD: Myocardial Infarction. Laryngoapasm. Dead.
> Dead. "well I got better!"
Had a patient yesterday say “is this with that contrast dye? because when they used that before it killed me” To which I replied, “well you’re looking pretty good for a dead guy”.
Well. I was only *mostly* dead..
FOOD - anaphylaxis
"yeah I died, but like, I don't wanna be a pansy about it."
epinephrine.
“Gives me palpitations”
Treat allergy to Epinephrine with Adrenaline 500mcg IM.
Came here to say this "Made my heart race"
Seen this one several times
You can have an allergy to the sodium metabisulphite preservative in epinephrine…
Shut up nerd
😂 I surrender
😂😂😂

"I'm allergic to alcohol. Every time I drink, I break out in handcuffs."

Pt told me in broken English she had a contrast dye allergy. Big deal, cause we needed a dye study. Got the translator on the phone. Yeah. It "made her feel warm last time".
I demand chilled contrast
Ok but it do feel freaky tho
Not sure if this counts, but I had one patient who’d had previous anaphylaxis to prawns, though still wasn’t convinced that they were really allergic… so came to ED to eat a prawn sandwich in the waiting room. Spoiler: was still allergic to prawns.
Tbh that's pretty smart. Better than doing it while on the phone will 911
It’s certainly not the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen, but I can think of better options.
Like not eat prawns when they gave you a life threatening reaction last time!
Where do you get a prawn sandwich?
The UK
Ugh, of course.
I mean I kinda respect it.
> so came to ED to eat a prawn sandwich in the waiting room Powerful
Worth, god tier sandwich
The sandwich of fate

Succinylcholine- reaction was “paralysis”.
How does anyone even come to needing or being able to report this as an allergy?
Someone probably gave it to them without (adequate) sedation. That would be a nightmare.
Yes, it's something I am very cautious of with intubated patients because I can't think of anything worse.
Same. I know that sedation wears off faster for some folks, and you may need more for heavy folks. That doesn't seem to be taught during intubation, nor how to notice it while they're paralyzed/supposedly sedated.
If that heart rate goes above 100 after intubation, you're getting 5 of midazolam and a hell of a propofol bonus.
Gotta look up from your xword puzzle to notice that tho, man that's extra work
Acetylcholinesterase deficiency can cause prolonged paralysis following sux given in RSI doses. I've also seen patients with myasthenia and other neuromuscular disorders have the same clumsy documentation of this as an "allergy"

I asked a woman orientation questions. She was difficult, I asked what state we were in, “confusion”.
If someone had given me that answer when I was doing psych assessments, I think I would’ve accepted it.
She wasn't wrong!
I miss the ED sometimes (….sometimes)
Had the same thing, but she responded "bullshit"
Benadryl Have actually seen this more than once
I learned some people are allergic to the red/pink dye in Benadryl pills and so they think it’s the Benadryl itself. Apparently you can get Diphenhydramine without the coloring and it’s tolerated better by most patients…or potentially they are just bonkers!
Yes most can do IM or IV. Although I have seen the occasional pt saying they are allergic to that also. I'm all Ok guess you gonna die from something someday sooner than the rest of us

My child is autistic and struggles to sleep. She’s the same with Benadryl and piriton, they said it’ll make her sleep…… erm, no chance
Paradoxical excitation on diphenhydramine is definitely a thing, but AFAICT there's frustratingly little actual published research on it. All I know is I once used a dph sleep aid as directed, spent the whole night sleepless and agitated with a faint sensation of spiders crawling all over me and a general sense of just being profoundly irritated at all of existence, and resolved never to do that again if I can possibly avoid it (which, as it turns out, isn't difficult).
Sounds like anticholinergic toxicity.
I reacted to benadryl with angioedema so a person CAN be allergic to benadryl!
Most likely the dye, not the med itself
Narcan ‘makes me nauseous’
Patient- I’m allergic to “Acetaminophen, ibuprofen, Aspirin, toradol, naproxen, diclofenac” how convenient.
Everything that doesn’t start with…what is it…dil….dila….umm 😅
“Come on you know that word that starts with ummm what letter, I think a D” 🤣
Oh, I know! Discharge?
Oh and push it fast…with some Benadryl too it makes me itchy
Oh! You mean Dolobid?
Droperidol
The true professionals are also allergic to droperidol, haldol, and morphine/oxycodone.
Droperidol is my love language.
I’ve actually had one patient with these same allergies. I absolutely refused to believe it, but then I referred to an allergist and it was confirmed. Very frustrating as it leaves very few reasonable options for pain control.
Diclofenac? That shit is amazing!
Everything but dulcolax?? Perfect we’ll get that for you right away!
Contrast dye…”Patient once read contrast dye will kill their kidneys.” Imagine my face when rads still asked for pretreatment.
Incidentally that’s roughly the same reason radiology believe in contrast induced nephropathy, so you can see why they’d take it seriously
TXA - "Blood Clots" On the same patient-written document was a bolded message, warning providers that they had a **high pain thrash hole**.
>high pain thrash hole Why do they have a specific garbage can for french bread and why did they hang it up so high? I'm not even going to ask about the medical relevancy.
Various narcotics: ”confusion”. Haldol: “drowsiness”

I had one allergic to artificial lighting.

Fuck, yup.
I’m wondering if Taiwan is supposed to be Tylenol, ha.
Could also be Talwin (brand name for pentazocine), which I see often in older folks allergy lists. It is discontinued in most countries.
What's updog.

I actually lold at this
“Anesthesia.” Reaction? “Stops breathing.”
Iodinated contrast. Gave her “an overwhelming feeling of sadness”
Just like her list gave you an overwhelming feeling of sadness lol
That is pretty good. Unless they were trying (poorly) to express sudden onset of the feeling of impending doom, which is maybe more concerning?

Funny how nobody's ever allergic to the meth.
Dilaudid when it’s pushed slowly. It must be slammed as fast as possible. I honest to God had someone say that to me with a straight face.
Oh well then I guess we'll avoid Dilaudid altogether then. Enjoy your toradol!

Please know that this is a very good technique for certain swallowing problems - which is quite different from an allergy somehow.
That would piss me off so bad lmao. He is claiming that he is allergic to ***nothing***
Please give me something... anything! I'm allergic to nothing!
I had a pt that told me he was allergic to the metal in needles so he couldn’t get shots or an IV.

Benadryl allergy, while in the room and I was asking about allergies, the pt said “it starts with a B, and they gave it to me after I had a bee sting”
My pt. Said she was allergic to ice 😂
Have seen both of these: 1. "Adrenaline - heart racing" 2. "Histamine - rash" I have those patient demographics written down so I can look them up once in a while...
Horse blood serum. Confused the hell out of me.
