Epinephrine
Food allergy is an abnormal response to a food triggered by your body's immune system.
In adults, the foods that most often trigger allergic reactions include fish, shellfish, peanuts, and tree nuts, such as walnuts. Problem foods for children can include eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, and wheat.
The allergic reaction may be mild. In rare cases it can cause a severe reaction called anaphylaxis. Symptoms of food allergy include:
Your health care provider may use a detailed history, elimination diet, and skin and blood tests to diagnose a food allergy.
When you have food allergies, you must be prepared to treat an accidental exposure. Wear a medical alert bracelet or necklace, and carry an auto-injector device containing epinephrine (adrenaline).
You can only prevent the symptoms of food allergy by avoiding the food. After you and your health care provider have identified the foods to which you are sensitive, you must remove them from your diet.

Physician's Therapeutics Memoranda on Epinephrine
HEMATURIA   For hemorrhage from the bladder, the most eflicient remedies are
fluid extract ergot, oil erigeron, gallic acid, cannabis indica and
camphor (5 to 10 gr. doses). Astringent injections are not to be ad
vised except in extreme cases, but
epinephrine hydrochloride may be
used thus. In malarial hematuria, sodium hyposulphite is recom
mended, 5 to 15 grains four or five times a day.
1
HEMOPTYSIS   At the outset give aconite as arterial sedative (not if patient is
exsanguinated). Later apply Esmarch bandages to limbs. Cold to
serotum or vulva. Gallic acid and fluid extract ergot are often pre
scribed but are of doubtful value. In favorable cases use a fine spray
of
epinephrine hydrochloride.
