The signs of an allergic reaction and anaphylaxis + what to do
SYMPTOMS of an allergy usually occur within minutes of contact with with the offending food or trigger, but they can also come on up to one hour later.
Most allergic reactions are mild but they can also be moderate or severe.
Anaphylaxis is the most severe form of allergic reaction which can be life threatening.
In some cases, anaphylaxis symptoms lead to collapse and unconsciousness and, on rare occasions, can be fatal so it's important to know how to recognise them and act quickly.
Mild to moderate symptoms include: Itchy mouth, tongue and throat
Swelling of lips, around the eyes or face
Red raised itchy rash (often called nettle rash, hives or urticaria)
Vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhoea
Runny nose and sneezing
Severe symptoms of anaphylaxis include: Swelling of your throat and tongue
Difficulty breathing or breathing very fast
Difficulty swallowing, tightness in your throat or a hoarse voice
Wheezing, coughing or noisy breathing
Feeling tired or confused
Feeling faint, dizzy or fainting
Skin that feels cold to the touch
Blue, grey or pale skin, lips or tongue – if you have brown or black skin, this may be easier to see on the palms of your hands or soles of your feet
Anaphylaxis and its symptoms should be treated as a medical emergency.
Follow these steps if you think you or someone you're with is having an anaphylactic reaction: Use an adrenaline auto-injector (such as an EpiPen) if you have one – instructions are included on the side of the injector. Call 999 for an ambulance and say that you think you're having an anaphylactic reaction. Lie down – you can raise your legs, and if you're struggling to breathe, raise your shoulders or sit up slowly (if you're pregnant, lie on your left side). If you have been stung by an insect, try to remove the sting if it's still in the skin. If your symptoms have not improved after 5 minutes, use a second adrenaline auto-injector.
Do not stand or walk at any time, even if you feel better.

Scots schoolgirl, 7, takes on 18-mile cycle to raise funds for dad after double stroke
Friends and family will join her for the challenge next month MILES FOR DAD Scots schoolgirl, 7, takes on 18-mile cycle to raise funds for dad after double stroke Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SCHOOLGIRL is taking on an 18-mile cycle to help her dad recover from a devastating double stroke. Seven-year-old Lydia Parker is raising cash for the Scottish Air Ambulance, which saved her dad Michael's life after medics warned he was just minutes from death when the brain attack hit earlier this year. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Michael McGregor, 39, suffered a double stroke on May 1 Credit: Supplied 4 The dad, from Lochgilpead, has been left unable to walk or talk properly Credit: Supplied 4 But his determined daughter Lydia, 7, is set to complete a 18-mile sponsored cycle Credit: Supplied 4 She is aiming to raise for £3000 for the Scottish Ambulance Service and anything over that will go towards her dad's recovery Credit: Supplied The ambitious youngster, from Lochgilphead, Argyll and Bute, also hopes to raise cash for therapies to help her dad regain his speech and mobility after the life-changing ordeal. Her effort has rallied the local community, with friends and family joining her for the challenge along the nearby Crinan Canal on August 31. Proud mum Hannah said: "She's an amazing wee girl. She just wants to do something to help her dad and she's determined to make it happen. "We told Michael in the hospital that Lydia wanted to do this and you could see him nodding. He was desperate for her to go ahead with it. I think she feels this is the only thing she can do for her dad." Michael McGregor, 39, suffered a double stroke while working in Oban earlier this year. Hannah explained: "His colleagues noticed something was wrong and took him straight to A&E. He was airlifted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow and they told us he would have died within 15 minutes if the helicopter hadn't come to get him. "By the time he arrived, he underwent emergency brain surgery but it was touch and go that first week. "He spent 11 weeks in hospital and, although he was determined to get home, he's not the same man he was. He's walking with a splint, has no sensation in his arm, and struggles to communicate." Lydia hopes to raise £3,000 for the Scottish Air Ambulance, with any extra funds going towards speech and language therapy and physio to help her dad recover. Hannah said: "Michael's had a terrible time of it. He had cancer about four years ago and spent three months in hospital then so it's been really tough on us all. The 8 subtle signs of lingering 'holiday heart syndrome' - and when you risk blood clots and stroke "Lydia's already showing signs of stepping into a carer's role. "The other day, she asked if we could take her dad swimming instead of asking ''Can daddy take me swimming?'. It's wee things like that that show how much this has affected her too." But despite all the challenges, little Lydia has her heart set on smashing her goal. Hannah added: "She's watching the donations come in and getting so excited. She's determined to help her dad however she can. She's an amazing wee girl and I couldn't be more proud of her.' The fundraiser has already raised over half of its target. Anyone wishing to donate can do so here.

Nerve-wracking moment doctors continue performing cancer surgery on patient during monster 8.8-mag earthquake
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the nerve-wracking moment doctors continue performing cancer surgery on a patient during the monster Russian 8.8 magnitude earthquake. The massive quake hit off Russia's far eastern Kamchatka peninsula on Wednesday, the US Geological Survey said, wreaking chaos across the Pacific. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 This is the nerve-wracking moment doctors continue performing cancer surgery on a patient during a quake Credit: Reuters 6 A doctor is seen trying to stop instruments from falling on the floor Credit: Reuters 6 The brave doctors continued despite the chaos Credit: Reuters The quake struck about 84 miles out at sea at around 7.24pm EST (12:30am BST) at a shallow depth of 19.3km (12 miles). It is the largest since the 2011 monster which led to a tsunami that caused the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Now unbelievable footage has emerged of doctors managing to continue performing surgery while the horror quake unfolded. The brave doctors in Russia are captured looking at one another as the apparatus around them begins to shake. One is seen desperately holding onto instruments before one falls to the floor. The other surgeons managed keep their hands still over the patient as the quake rocks their bodies. They all appear to look around in desperation for any help while all the room continues to tremble. The doctors then appear to bravely continue the cancer operation despite the chaos. The patient, under anaesthetic, remains laying on the table as another surgeon lifts up the sheet covering their face - presumably to check everything is fine. Tsunami alerts have now spread to South America after the sixth biggest recorded tremor ever saw nearly 2million people earlier evacuated from Japan's coasts. Heartbreaking vid shows whales washed up on beach after Russian mega quake Huge aftershocks continue to hit the area and resulting tsunamis could last for more than a day. Waves have already hit Russia, Japan, Hawaii, and California. A 4m (13ft) high wave was recorded on the southern tip of Kamchatka with waves inundating low lying areas and thousands evacuating. Hawaii has seen waves nearly 6ft high, but officials believe the worst might be over and have downgraded warnings. A Brit family holidaying on the island revealed to The Sun how they are stranded on the 16th floor of their hotel as the first tsunami waves hit the island. Some 1.9m people in Japan have been ordered to evacuate with a 1.3m (4ft) wave hitting the country. It's a nightmare scenario for the country that suffered a nuclear disaster at Fukushima in 2011 caused by a tsunami. Workers from the nuclear plant have been evacuated and are monitoring it remotely. Tsunami warnings are in place for as far away as Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador. Waves have also hit the mainland US, including California, Oregon, and Washington. President Donald Trump posted following the quake: "Due to a massive earthquake that occurred in the Pacific Ocean, a Tsunami Warning is in effect for those living in Hawaii. "A Tsunami Watch is in effect for Alaska and the Pacific Coast of the United States. Japan is also in the way. Please visit for the latest information.

Skin doctor warns against viral trend that'll give you stinky hair & scalp flare-ups – try the ‘sandwich method' instead
Find out how often you should be washing your hair HAIR THIS Skin doctor warns against viral trend that'll give you stinky hair & scalp flare-ups – try the 'sandwich method' instead Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A NEW beauty craze sweeping TikTok is being slammed by experts – and it could be leaving you with greasy, smelly hair and an itchy scalp. The 'hair training' trend, which has racked up over 245 million views on the platform, encourages people to gradually extend the time between washes. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Dr Vania has shared her expert advice on 'hair training' 2 A viral trend is convincing people to wash their hair less Credit: Getty Creators like Tink, @cherries_87 with 1.3M followers, have even shared hair training tips, with one video noting she hadn't washed her hair in 33 days, which garnered 5.7Mviews and over 663K likes. The idea is that by skipping washes, your scalp will 'rebalance' its oil production, meaning your hair will stay cleaner for longer. But according to global skin doctor and cosmetic formulator Dr Vanita Rattan, this is nothing more than a viral myth. 'Unfortunately, hair training doesn't work,' she told The Sun. 'The scalp can't be 'trained' to produce less oil. "When people think it's working, it's really just because they've adapted to the build up. "It's like a dirty carpet, after a while, you stop noticing the stains.' Not only does going weeks without washing make your locks look lifeless, it can actually cause scalp problems too. 'Skipping washes can lead to irritation, dandruff and flare-ups of conditions like eczema and psoriasis,' Dr Rattan warned. 'Bacteria breaking down sweat and oil will also cause an unpleasant odour.' Ireland AM star Muireann O'Connell shows off fabulous new hair do Influencers have been sharing hair-training tips using dry shampoo and texturising sprays to mask the grease, but Dr Rattan says these products can do more harm than good. 'Many dry shampoos and styling sprays are full of sulphates, fragrance and denatured alcohol, which can inflame the scalp and trigger contact dermatitis,' she explained. 'This can weaken hair follicles and lead to shedding over time.' The doctor, who also runs her own haircare line, says the key to a healthy scalp is regular cleansing and using the right method in the shower. 'I recommend the 'sandwich method', which is to use conditioner, shampoo and then conditioner, to protect the hair's moisture barrier,' she said. 'It's the best way to prevent stripping your scalp and keep your hair shiny and soft.' She always recommend a 'NAFE SAFE' (no denatured alcohol, fragrance or essential oils) Complete Hair Range to avoid scalp inflammation. If hair loss is a concern, Dr Vania recommends an Anagen Boost Hair Tonic with soothing ingredients like Niacinamide and Red Clover Extract, which can help support scalp health and increase hair density. On the strands, use a Strengthening Hair Oil formulated with natural oils to prevent breakage and keep the hair glossy. How often should you actually wash your hair? Dr Rattan says it depends on your hair type, but a month without shampooing is far too long. 'Fine hair gets oily faster because there are more oil glands, so washing every other day is best,' she advised. 'Coarse hair can go three to four days between washes, while coiled or very curly hair – which is naturally drier – should be washed every two to three weeks.' Ultimately, the doctor says you can't 'train' your scalp to do anything. 'Your scalp is skin, just like the rest of your body,' she said. 'It needs to be cleaned regularly to stay healthy. Skipping washes only makes problems worse.' So if you're tempted to ditch the shampoo for weeks on end, don't. Try the sandwich method instead, your hair will thank you.
