"What are the Symptoms of Alcohol Allergy?"
Skin allergy is a common condition, and it is very easy to develop skin allergy once exposed to allergens. For instance, alcohol allergy refers to the allergic symptoms caused by ethanol. Once exposed to ethanol, the body will immediately exhibit symptoms of ethanol allergy. What are the symptoms of ethanol allergy? There are two types of alcohol allergy: immediate and delayed. Skin allergy, in this context, means getting drunk and experiencing allergic symptoms such as itching, swelling, and in severe cases, even throat edema and respiratory distress. If immediate treatment is not obtained, alcohol allergy symptoms can be severe and may even threaten personal safety. However, generally speaking, immediate alcohol allergy is relatively rare. Delayed alcohol allergy is more common, meaning that within one to two hours after drinking, patients may develop symptoms such as red rashes and itching. Bright red macules may spread throughout the body, causing a sensation of itching, but these macules usually dissipate gradually within one or two days, causing no serious impact.
People who are allergic to alcohol are generally allergic to various substances. If allergic to alcohol, not only will the skin have seasonal allergic reactions, but other parts of the body are also prone to allergic symptoms, such as dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, shock, rapid heartbeat, etc. These are all allergic symptoms that are easily triggered by alcohol allergy. Therefore, caution is advised.
